The Cube Root Subroutine is called with an effective "JMS
CUBE" with the argument in the accumulator. The subroutine
returns to the memory location following "JMS CUBE" with
the result in the accumulator and the remainder in MAGIC.
The algorithm makes use of the fact that the third order
difference of any list of consecutive cubes is always equal
to 6 (six).
