   (...) AH! Well, there you go. I missed that the first time around. Leave it to Bram and Dan though to beat me to it. The've both been at it longer than I. Good work all. (17 years ago, 22-Feb-07, to lugnet.build.schleim, FTX)
   
        Re: Smallest cube ever!? —David Eaton
   Of course, the thing that's still missing is the 3x3x3 cube! We've discovered how to make a 2x2x2, a 4x4x4, 5x5x5, and anything larger that's an integer multiple of studs... But no 3x3x3's :( The other thing that I haven't seen tried is making (...) (17 years ago, 22-Feb-07, to lugnet.build.schleim, FTX)
   
        Re: Smallest cube ever!? —Timothy Gould
     (...) hmmm. I have a suspicion that most non-integer cubes are impossible because of the way the surfaces can be constructed. Each side of a surface must be constructed out of I + 1/5 J plate units (I and J integer) since we can only make them out (...)

So to keep the terminology the same just replace all 5s by 2s and the rest remains the same. (...) (17 years ago, 19-Mar-07, to lugnet.off-topic.geek, FTX)
   
        Re: Smallest cube ever!? —Alban NANTY
   (...) Hi, Here is my attemp of a 3x3x3 cube: (3 URLs) The two 1x3 sides are a bit fragile because they are only cliped on less than half the height of a stud. This cube will be then probably disqualified for that, but maybe it will give some ideas (...) (17 years ago, 23-Feb-07, to lugnet.build.schleim, FTX)
