Harris showed that the incidence variety of a smooth cubic surface containing 27 lines has solvable Galois group over the incidence variety of a smooth cubic surface containing 3 skew lines. It follows that for any smooth cubic surface, there exist formulas for all 27 lines in terms of any 3 skew lines. I will briefly talk about Harris' results and how Stephen, Daniel, and I compute these formulas explicitly.
