I can't remember where I read this but the guy said to think of it as being
in two pieces. The ball and the thinner part. Cut it across to separate
the ball and the thinner part. Then cut down the middle of the ball and
separate the two halves. Lay each piece flat and cut the peel off. Then
lay the thinner piece cut side down and peel from top to bottom. Then
remove the seeds.
