Io is the third largest not 4th largest moon of Jupiter I believe. 4th is Europa.

I didn't say that it was the third largest moon of Jupiter, I said it was the third largest moon. I will specify that it is the third largest in the solar system. Sorry about that

Methone is pretty round, and is smaller than Mimas, I dont know if you'd count it though.

Methone is smooth, but not generally considered to be spherical.

Oh okay, thanks for the notice, but it if isn't considered to be spherical I think I will keep the hint. I don't think most people know what Methone is so I don't think it would mess anyone up really. Thanks for the comment :)
