malaygoel, you are correct.

I'm sorry, but I phrased that badly.
When my teacher slapped some sense into me, my train of thought was derailed.

A sphere (centered in a cube) will intersect each face of the cube resulting in a circle of points. All of the points on the 6 circles will be at the sphere's radius distance.

Instead of sinking into gibberish, I'll find the correct phrasing and post it.

Thanks for the wake up.
