Of course this should be all non-integer cubes are impossible...

I’m not so sure about that... If I understand correctly, the main issue here
is to produce a flat square surface with a non-integer number of studs as
side, right?
Because that is certainly possible, taking inspiration of Jason Alleman
(http://news.lugnet.com/announce/moc/?n=3255) and using panel pieces:
Which is half a plate smaller than a 5-stud square. Of course to make a full
flat cube out of that, you’d need to built 6 of these, some kind of cubic
frame around it, and make sure everything is properly held in place
together...
Let’s say that part is left as exercise for the reader (that’s a fancy way to
say I’m too lazy to do it myself, plus there’s a chance I’m horribly wrong)

It’s still an integer number of plates (which was my condition).

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)
