Sorry, the solution is available only in Hungarian. Google translation

Megoldás: Jelölje a kocka élét a, az alaplap köré írt kör sugarát R, a fedőlapba írt körét pedig r. Ekkor:

$R={\sqrt2\over2}a$ ,

$r={1\over2}a$ ,

V_kocka=a³,

$V_{csonkak\'up}={\pi\over3}\cdot a(R^2+r^2+Rr)={\pi\over3}\cdot a({2\over4}a^2+{1\over4}a^2+{\sqrt2\over4}a^2)=a^3\cdot{\pi\over12}(3+\sqrt2)$ .

A kérdéses arány: ${\pi\over12}(3+\sqrt2) : 1 = \pi(3+\sqrt2) : 12$ .
