We present an elementary proof that given a general collection of d points in Pn the linear system of cubics singular on each point has the expected codimension except when n=4 and d=7. In that case the cubic is unique. This, together with previous work of the author, gives a proof of the Alexander–Hirschowitz interpolation theorem.
