For the cbic watermelon:
+V%5B1%5D+=+6%5E3+
+V%5B1%5D+=+216+
For the spherical watermelon:
+V%5B2%5D+=+%284%2F3%29%2Api%2A4%5E3+
+V%5B2%5D+=+%284%2F3%29%2Api%2A64+
+V%5B2%5D+=+%28+256%2F3+%29%2Api+
+V%5B2%5D+=+85.333%2Api+
+V%5B2%5D+=+268.083+
-----------------------
The spherical one has the greater volume
by +268+-+216+=+52+ cubic inches
