Three golf balls in a box!

Get ready for this!

Three golf balls fit snugly in a rectangular box. What fraction of the space in the box do they occupy? Dumb question I know – don’t answer if you agree…..

   Exactly the same ratio as that between a sphere and a cube have a side of the same length as the diameter of the sphere.
   The ratio is : 4/3 x pi x r x r divided by d x d x d.

   hmm. i don’t quite understand how three balls can fit snugly in a box but think of it this way, if you have one golf ball that fits snugly in a square box then one half of the box is occupied
