    Perhaps if I had suggested he go with l or f it may have made the little deliberate mis-spelling joke more obvious?

                  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()
                              {

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