Magic Cube


A magic cube, is an early offspring from the magic square in which it now has an n*n*n dimension (3rd) instead of an n*n dimension (2nd). A cube is created through drawing two flat squares and drawing a line from one squares’ corner to the other squares’ corner, for all four corners. In magic cubes there are $$n^2$$ (with n being the order of the cube) number of rows, columns and pillars (the height of the cube/z-axis). In addition the number of space diagonals (e.g. diagonals going from the top right (back plane) of a cube to the bottom left (front plane)) amounts to four and the total number of normal diagonals, for example, in an order 3 magic cube, has been increased from 2 to 18. In a magic cube generally the sum of the rows, columns, pillars and diagonals all add up to the magic constant for that cube with size n (n being 3,4,5...).
