@chiarad: Please check the answers in the test suite. I think the solution you submitted computes the correct volumes, but the volumes in the tests are incorrect.

Also, the tests should have an assert statement--something like assert(abs(expectedResult-volume)<1e-6). Otherwise, just about anything will pass.

The test suite has been fixed.
