A sphere of radius Z is inscribed inside a cube of side length 4. Let v be a vertex of the cube. Let s be the set of points inside the cube and outside the sphere which are closer to v than any other vertex on the cube. What is the volume of s?
------------
The total volume outside the sphere and in the cube is

The cube has 8 vertices --> the volume asked for = over 8.
=
That volume includes points closer to a vertex AND equidistant from an adjacent vertex.
--> Vol <
