So here'd be a rich data structure transcribed from Math World:
http://mathworld.wolfram.com/news/2003-11-18/magiccube/

Possible lesson plan:  use as mapped and indexed data structure to
verify we're meeting the requisite criteria for a perfect magic cube
of edges 5 cells.

magic5 = dict (

    square0 =
    [[25, 16, 80, 104, 90],
    [115, 98, 4, 1, 97],
    [42, 111, 85, 2, 75],
    [66, 72, 27, 102, 48],
    [67, 18, 119, 106, 5]],

    square1 =
    [[91, 77, 71, 6, 70],
     [52, 64, 117, 69, 13],
     [30, 118, 21, 123, 23],
     [26, 39, 92, 44, 114],
     [116, 17, 14, 73, 95]],

    square2 =
    [[47, 61, 45, 76, 86],
     [107, 43, 38, 33, 94],
     [89, 68, 63, 58, 37],
     [32, 93, 88, 83, 19],
     [40, 50, 81, 65, 79]],

    square3 =
    [[31, 53, 112, 109, 10],
     [12, 82, 34, 87, 100],
     [103, 3, 105, 8, 96],
     [113, 57, 9, 62, 74],
     [56, 120, 55, 49, 35]],

    square4 =
    [[121, 108, 7, 20, 59],
     [29, 28, 122, 125, 11],
     [51, 15, 41, 124, 84],
     [78, 54, 99, 24, 60],
     [36, 110, 46, 22, 101]]
    )
