how many complete unit cubes can be put in a sphere of diameter 6 cm
What units? cm?
----------------------
The volume of the sphere is

V = 36 pi cc = ~113 cc
But the cubes don't conform to the shape of the sphere, making this a difficult problem. I think it's beyond the scope of almost all classes.
Even working in 2 dimensions, putting 1 cm squares inside a 6 cm dia circle is complicated.
