Date: 12 Oct 1981 0919-PDT From: HOROWITZ at USC-ISIF Subject: Latin square question To: cube-lovers at MIT-MC Herb Taylor, a research associate at USC in the EE dept. has proved that it is impossible to put a latin square on every face of the 2 x 2 x 2 cube. Can anyone answer the question on page 15 of his book UNSCRAMBLING THE CUBE? It asks whether or not it is possible to put a latin square on every face of the 3 x 3 x 3 cube. Ellis Horowitz p.s.
