| # --description--
 | |
| 
 | |
| The cube, 41063625 ($345^3$), can be permuted to produce two other cubes: 56623104 ($384^3$) and 66430125 ($405^3$). In fact, 41063625 is the smallest cube which has exactly three permutations of its digits which are also cube.
 | |
| 
 | |
| Find the smallest cube for which exactly `n` permutations of its digits are cube.
 | |
| 
 | |
| # --hints--
 | |
| 
 | |
| `cubicPermutations(2)` should return a number.
 | |
| 
 | |
| ```js
 | |
| assert(typeof cubicPermutations(2) === 'number');
 | |
| ```
 | |
| 
 | |
| `cubicPermutations(2)` should return `125`.
 | |
| 
 | |
| ```js
 | |
| assert.strictEqual(cubicPermutations(2), 125);
 | |
| ```
 | |
| 
 | |
| `cubicPermutations(3)` should return `41063625`.
 | |
| 
 | |
| ```js
 | |
| assert.strictEqual(cubicPermutations(3), 41063625);
 | |
| ```
 | |
| 
 | |
| `cubicPermutations(4)` should return `1006012008`.
 | |
| 
 | |
| ```js
 | |
| assert.strictEqual(cubicPermutations(4), 1006012008);
 | |
| ```
 | |
| 
 | |
| `cubicPermutations(5)` should return `127035954683`.
 | |
| 
 | |
| ```js
 | |
| assert.strictEqual(cubicPermutations(5), 127035954683);
 | |
| ```
