Am I missing something here?

The magic sum number of a 2x2x2 magic cube would be 9 (aka we need all rows, columns, diagonals to add up to 9).

Does there exist a 2x2x2 magic cube if each layer doesn't need a diagonal?

I don't think it works, but I'm not sure why my professor would ask about it twice if it didn't work.

Let's say you look at both layers, the top and bottom.

If the top left square on the top is say 3. Don't you need to use six multiple times to satisfy the column, row, pillar, and diagonal requirements????
