Hanukkah Gifts

Which Hanukkah gift is yours?

Your mother has put Hanukkah gifts out for the whole family. They are wrapped and waiting in a tantalizing pile on the table. You look at them closely, but there are no gift tags!

"Which one is mine? Which one is mine?" you ask.

"Well," says your mother, "The box with the largest volume is for you. The box with the second largest volume is for your younger brother. The box with the smallest volume is for your dad."

Then she asks you to put the gift tags on for her.

Look carefully over the three boxes in this picture. Which box is yours, which is your brother's and which is your dad's?
