    "If you randomly throw three darts at a sphere then on average the surface area of the spherical triangle made using the three darts as vertices will be 1/8th of the sphere volume. This result can be proved quite easily using calculus."

    How can a surface area equal a volume?

    Davo is correct. The darts will roll off. It's all in the wording of the puzzle.
