[Find the volume of Phobos and Deimos]( http://mathematica.stackexchange.com/questions/96125/find-the-volume-of-phobos-and-deimos)
How can we calculate the volume of a 3D object using the new-in-10 computational geometry functions?
For simple objects this works:
shuttle = ExampleData[{"Geometry3D", "SpaceShuttle"}]

[Convert binary voxel image to geometric region] (http://mathematica.stackexchange.com/questions/96134/convert-binary-voxel-image-to-geometric-region)
I have a binary voxel image which described a contiguous region in space.
Example:
arr = Array[ Function[{x, y, z}, (1 + Sin[5 x] Sin[5 y] Sin[5 z]/2) - (x^2 + y^2 + z^2)], {100, 100, 100}, ...

[Is it possible to reference "self" from a pure function?]( http://mathematica.stackexchange.com/questions/96220/is-it-possible-to-reference-self-from-a-pure-function)
This would calculate the factorial of 6, if the "self" was the function itself. Is there something that could allow this?
If[#[[1]] > 0, self[{#[[1]] - 1, #[[2]] #[[1]]}], Print[#[[2]]]] &[{6, ...
