The answer (SPOILER)

Tom Brosz — 1/7/2003 9:09:04 AM (archived)

The answer is 5/6 * pi^3.

Solution.

No way did I get even close to figuring this out. I knew immediately when the problem was described approximately what the shape would be, and I also knew immediately that my math sucked too bad to figure out the area of such a shape.
