How can you get the volume of a sphere by combining the following items:
A tasty dessert
A popular Star Wars character
An important part of elementary education 100 years ago
A few mathematical operators

A tasty dessert=pie=pi

A popular Star Wars character=R2D2=R^2*D^2=4R^4

An important part of elementary education=3 R's=3*R

A few mathematical operators=*, /

Volume of sphere=(pi*4R^4)/3R=(4/3)*pi*R^3
