Wow, I didn't realize this sort of calculation had been automated.

Hey, we do this stuff every day. Really.
Well at least with a loose interpretation of ``this sort of''.

Well, call me John Henry. Say, do you have gap libraries for other
magic polyhedra? For higher-dimensional magic?

I also have a permutation representation for the 2x2x2 and the 4x4x4
cube. I must confess that I was never interested in other magic
polyhedra.

I once started writing a GAP function that creates a premutation
representation for any (hyper-)cube, i.e., 'Cube( 3, 3, 3, 2 )' would
create a 4-dimensional magic domino. The largest problem was to define
what the ``faces'' and ``slices'' are, i.e., are they 2 or n-1
dimensional?

If there is interest, I would finish this project and also collect
permutation representations for other magic polyhedra and distribute
them together with future versions of GAP.

Have a nice day.

Martin.
