The largest volume tetrahedron whose points fit on a sphere

Four points A, B, C, D are taken at random on a sphere of radius r (use θ and φ reglers). The volume of the tetrahedron ABCD is greatest in the case of its regularity. Point A moves freely around the sphere. Using geogebra this problem is solved by computing the maxima of functions of 6 variables.
