Solution
return x*x==4 and(z*z==4 or y==2)or z*z==4 and y==-2 or 10How it works
A solid green cube with white seams wrapping around it. The seam has three parts: edges where both x and z are at their max (x*x==4 and z*z==4), a horizontal ring around the top (x*x==4 and y==2), and another around the bottom (z*z==4 and y==-2). Together they form that classic tennis ball curve.
Bare true gives us WHITE for free on the seams, and everything else falls through to or 10 for LIGHTGREEN. The whole ball is just one return with no variables at all!
