What is Archimedes' famous puzzle about the crown?

The "Eureka" moment is one of Archimedes' most famous stories in which he discovered how to determine whether a crown was made of pure gold without destroying it. By submerging the crown in water, he could measure its volume and compare the mass-to-volume ratio to that of pure gold, based on the principle of displacement.
