Gosh, you're right.

Assuming:

- 5,250 can stand front to back

- 3,500 side-by-side

- 750 on top of each other

That's more than 13 billion humans you could fit in said cube.

The "What If?" books by Randall Munroe (of XKCD fame) cover topics like this with that kind of thought process.

Also pretty hot, since if I remember correctly, the waste heat of a human is higher per volume (or was that mass ?) than of the sun !
