If x, y, z, s, t, r, o, p, and q are the spaces of the 3x3, then
x^2+y^2+z^2=
s^2+r^2+t^2=
o^2+p^2+q^2=
x^2+r^2+t^2=
x^2+s^2+o^2=
y^2+r^2+p^2=
z^2+t^2+q^2=
o^2+r^2+z^2.
If you then divide each equation by z, we get three parts of the equation that cancel z. Thus,
x^2+y^2=t^2+q^2=o^2+r^2. Therefore, if one can get six squares to equal each other, one will be closer the the answer of the 3x3. However, Wolfram Alpha posits the only real answer is zero.
