It would be much funnier, if the Cube was at origo. So indexes are {-1,0,+1}. And thus Cube[0,0,0] is empty, or maybe there is a ball with 6 screw-holes in it.

Nearest nonhuman intelligence seems to be the only one to appreciate this approach. It shortens the code and also search space as it is easier to recognize symmetries.
