  1. A solution to a similar problem, where the resistance between two diagonally opposite points of the cube was required, has been given by A. J. Small (Engineering News, No. 190, March 18th, 1965, p. 2). This solution requires a minimum of mathematics. An alternative solution has been presented by H. Trencham (Engineering News, No. 192, April 1st, 1965, p. 2).
