Also, even if they didn't need to specifically be cubes, he still left part of the object behind.

Does it not matter how much he brings to the end?

Is the requirement for success here solely his speed?

Why not ditch the cube altogether?

Or is it a sum of both speed and "cube mass"?

If so, how much can he shave off and still compensate by being fast?

Could you just cut a small piece of it and sprint to the end?

Is there a minimum amount you need to bring?

So many questions...

Even if what he did was legit, then cutting the cube into a cylinder would be a smarter choice. Maybe not even a full cylinder, an octagon or something like that would have roll fine and saved so much work.

The real solution is to cut a square cube than the square needed by the end of travel, cut the large cube into a sphere and then transport it then cut the sphere into the cube with the right size.

Or use wheels.

Also, the smartest response to the situation in the picture would be to work together.
