Think step by step, use the code tool to help you out, and finally submit with the answer tool. The question is: A solid right prism $ABCDEF$ has a height of $16$ and equilateral triangles bases with side length $12,$ as shown. $ABCDEF$ is sliced with a straight cut through points $M,$ $N,$ $P,$ and $Q$ on edges $DE,$ $DF,$ $CB,$ and $CA,$ respectively. If $DM=4,$ $DN=2,$ and $CQ=8,$ determine the volume of the solid $QPCDMN.$ [asy]
