The Archimedes Hatbox Theorem is a wonderful little theorem about the
sphere and a circumscribed cylinder having the same surface area, but
the sphere can potentially still be characterized by inverting the
statement. There shall be a discussion of approaches
to prove the claim so far, and a review of a weaker inversion of the
Hatbox Theorem by Herbert Knothe and discussion of a related problem in
measure theory that would imply the spheres uniqueness in this property.
