The problem of finding the largest set of nodes in a d-cube of side 3 such that no three nodes are collinear was proposed by Moser. Small values of d (viz., d ≤,3) resulted in elegant symmetric solutions. It is shown that this does not remain the case in 4 dimensions where at most 43 nodes can be chosen, and these must not include the center node.
