	The floor area in a spherical space station		2009-02-14
		From Ed: I am writing a science fiction novel that involves a spherical space station with a radius of 800 meters. Inside, artificial gravity allows parallel floors set 4 meters apart. If you count the floor that has a radius of 800 meters as Floor 0, then the next floor up (Floor +1) would by 4 meters above the surface of Floor 0. There would then be Floor -1 4 meters down from Floor 0. This would continue until you reach the top or bottom floor, where there is at least 4 meters but less than 8 meters to the top or bottom of the sphere. Obviously the top and bottom floors would have the (same) smallest area, while Floor 0 would have about 2 million square feet. My problem is figuring out the total area of all of the floors, or for that matter, any particular floors or the total number of floors (the total of all the + floors, the - floors (these numbers will be the same) plus Floor 0.

	A geodesic dome		2007-09-25
		From Roger: In my Science-Fiction series, I have a Dyson's Sphere tiled with regular hexagons. The number of hexagons is over 300,000 and the radius of the Sphere is roughly 80,000,000 miles. The actual size of the Sphere and hexagons have been left flexible until I can come up with a definite number of hexagons that would fit. My problem is the pattern of hexagons which would fit within the sphere without leaving gaps or overlapping. My best guess has been to use four equilateral triangles composed of 78606 hexagons, (396 per edge) arranged around the sphere with six 'zippers' to connect them and four 'caps' at the points, for a total of 316804 hexagons. Given the fact that each Hex is the same size, does this seem plausible? Is there some pattern formula I can use to play with these figures? Simple divsion of areas will not work if the number derived will not fit into the pattern to leave a perfectly tiled surface. Thank you. Answered by Chris Fisher.
