A group of math teachers shared a cube-sized cake by cutting it into one-unit cubes. Everyone received exactly one small cube of cake. Being math teachers, they noticed that the number of people who had pieces with no sides frosted was exactly 8 times the number of people who had pieces with three sides frosted. How many math teachers were at the banquet?
