COMMENTS

The ratio of the volume of a regular octahedron to the volume of the circumscribed sphere (which has circumradius a*sqrt(2)/2 = a*A010503, where a is the octahedron's edge length; see MathWorld link). For similar ratios for other Platonic solids, see A165922, A165952, A165953, and A165954. [From Rick L. Shepherd (rshepherd2(AT)hotmail.com), Oct 01 2009]
