Squares and Cubes from Wooden Cubes (Posted on 2023-07-11) Difficulty: 3 of 5
• Georgia has three wooden cubes.
• On each face of each cube one of the digits from 0 to 8 is written, with each of those digits appearing on more than one of the cubes.
• The sum of the digits on each cube is the same.
• By moving the cubes around Georgia can make the top faces form many numbers (with the 6 being also used for a 9); including all the three digit perfect squares.

Determine the total number of three-digit perfect cubes that Georgia cannot construct in this way.

Note: Adapted from an Enigma Puzzle which appeared in 'New Scientist' in 1994.
