Hi,

Say if I packed marbles into a space in a way that each marble was
surrounded in 3 dimensions by 14 other marbles [like one on each side
of a dice with one at each of the 8 corners of a dice ...

And then imagine that each of these marbles magically spread out to
take up as much volume as each other and leave no empty space between
them and that the surface of contact between any two marbles in the
arrangement was the same for all two marble contacts ...

I want to be able to calculate the volume of each "expanded" marble,
and the sirface area of contact between any two marbles.

Any thoughts?
