Problem.

Construct a plane intersection of the cube by three points of that

plane. None the pairs of these points lie on the same face of the cube.

Let PQR be the three points defining the plane, belonging to edges AE, BC and FH of the given
cube (see picture below). Draw from Q a parallel to BD, to meet DF at Q'. Let Q be the symmetric
of Q with respect to the midpoint of ER and let Q be the symmetric of Q with respect to the
midpoint of PR. Then Q and Q are the projections of Q and Q on plane EDFH, so that QQ and
QQ meet at a point S belonging both to plane EDFH and to plane PQRQ. Line RS is then the
intersection of those two planes and it intersects edge EH at a point S, which is the first of the three
points we must construct.
You could now repeat the same construction starting from P and then from R, to get other two
points T and U on the edges of the cube, but there is a shortcut: just draw from Q a line parallel to
RS and another parallel to PS, so that U and T will be the intersections of those lines with AB and
CF respectively. Finally join RSPUQT to get a hexagon which is the desired intersection.
