                          Given 27 same-size cubes whose nominal values progress from 1 to 27, a 3×3×3 magic cube[^] can be constructed such that every row, column, and corridor, and every diagonal passing through the center, comprises 3 cubes whose sum of values is 42.

                                      For some reason that reminded me of a function I once saw, it was something like this:

                                      int random()
                                      {
                                      return 4;
                                      }

                                          For some reason that reminded me of a function I once saw, it was something like this:

                                          int random()
                                          {
                                          return 4;
                                          }

                                          I think the name "random" refers not to the output but to the thoughts of the programmer.
