contents We prove that the extremal length systole of the cube punctured at its vertices is realized by the 12 curves surrounding its edges and give a characterization of the corresponding quadratic differentials, allowing us to estimate its value to high precision. The proof uses a mixture of exact calculations done using branched covers and elliptic integrals, together with estimates obtained using either the geometry of geodesic trajectories on the cube or explicit conformal maps.
