32. A Snowball's Chance Jake stores a small cache of 4-inch-diameter snowballs in the basement freezer, unaware that the freezer's self-defrosting feature will cause each snowball to lose about 1 cubic inch of volume every 40 days. He remembers them a year later (call it 360 days) and goes to retrieve them. What is their diameter then?
