Given a real number $x,$ let $\lfloor x \rfloor$ denote the greatest integer less than or equal to $x.$ For a certain integer $k,$ there are exactly $70$ positive integers $n_{1}, n_{2}, \ldots, n_{70}$ such that $k=\lfloor\sqrt[3]{n_{1}}\rfloor = \lfloor\sqrt[3]{n_{2}}\rfloor = \cdots = \lfloor\sqrt[3]{n_{70}}\rfloor$ and $k$ divides $n_{i}$ for all $i$ such that $1 \leq i \leq 70.$ Find the maximum value of $\frac{n_{i}}{k}$ for $1\leq i \leq 70.$

Let $n\geq3$ be an integer. We say that an arrangement of the numbers $1$, $2$, $\dots$, $n^2$ in a $n \times n$ table is [i]row-valid[/i] if the numbers in each row can be permuted to form an arithmetic progression, and [i]column-valid[/i] if the numbers in each column can be permuted to form an arithmetic progression. For what values of $n$ is it possible to transform any row-valid arrangement into a column-valid arrangement by permuting the numbers in each row?
