I’ve known a few folks who have tormented colleagues with a resistor cube—equal resistors on all sides. So in case you’ve solved that one, let’s add a twist. In this cube, not all the resistors are equal.

&lt;p&gt;My solution is R = 3/2 Ohm and also R = - 3/4 Ohm (negative value could come into account by using NICs as R); as a solutions of a quadratic eqution, obtained by repeatedly reconfiguring selected resistive wyes-to-triangles.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Some subsidiary results: for &amp;nbsp;R = 6 Ohm; the RAB = 4/3 =1.33333... Ohm and RABmax = 5/3 = 1.66666... Ohm for R = infinity (void at position of R).&lt;/p&gt;
