Now the surface area of four of them when calculating, is equal to a 16” sphere but when I plug a 16” sphere into TM is only doubles and comes up with 22.7pf, not 45.6pf like I would think. Can anyone sheds some light on this ?  Which is correct ?

C is affected by shape as well as surface area. It's all about the 
electric field.  In fact, I would expect a sphere to have the lowest C 
for a given surface area.
