This one was pretty basic, but fun. The outer circle is 320’ and the inner is ½ of that at 160’. The cube needed to fit inside the sphere and reversed on the inner sphere so the sphere captures the cube opening. Rather than digging up a formula, I cheated. I modeled up a 1” cube and measured across it from point to point. The result was 1.73205… you can do the math, just divide 320’ by the 1.73205… factor and you will find your results. It was a good math project but once you figure it out it became extremely clear what the end result will always be. Not to mention that is great in the 3D spinning like a top. Reminded me of the original star trek TV show named ‘Corbomite Maneuver’ the probe ship that was a small spinning cube with flashing colors. So I colored it in a similar fashion. I also made the inner sphere transparent so you can see the convergence points. Haiku ...
