Can you rearrange it so that the first stone (three-ace) shall occupy the centre, now filled by the double six, and it shall still add up in all ways to 33?

[Solution]

6. SHIFTING LETTERS

I am bright as a whole
Till you cut off my head;
Then as black as a coal,
Or a mortal instead.

Shaken up and recast
We with science are found,
Read us back from the last
And we live underground.

[Solution]
