volume of 10" sphere is 1000 ties that of a 1" sphere (volume scales as the cube of linear dimension). The close packed fill-factor for spheres is 0.74 (see eg
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Close-packing_of_spheres). Thus you will get LESS THAN 740 1" spheres into a 10" sphere (quick calculation neglecting edge effects, which is why 740 is only a bound, not the actual number)
