Gerenuk: That is exactly what I'm having trouble with, visuallising the cuts and objects. The volumes calculated in previous post: (1-pi/16) is the volume of the remaining object after the first hole is cut. (pi/16-1/12) is the volume of the second hole removed minus the volume of the...

Thanks for your replies. I've got a mental block. Volume remaining with one hole is 1-pi/16 Volume remaining with two holes is (1-pi/16)-(pi/16-1/12) Volume remaining with three holes is (1-pi/16)-(pi/16-1/12)-(pi/16-(16-sqrt(128))*0.25^3)) This is approx = 0.567508... Please...

Hello. I have been set a problem by a student. It appears to be fairly old, but I cannot find much info in the web. Here it is: A 1" cube has three holes drilled in it, each hole connecting the centres of opposite faces, thus forming a cavity in the centre joined to the surface by six holes...
