UCF Assistant Professor of physics\u00a0Bill Kaden has employed mathematical formulas to uncover the secrets of this game. \u201cCornhole provides a great example of physics in action,\u201d says Kaden. \u201cWhile the game appears reasonably straightforward to the casual observer, a rigorously detailed physical description [&#8230;] actually presents a fairly nontrivial undertaking.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>[photo id=&#8221;8008&#8243; title=&#8221;Cornhole diagram&#8221; alt=&#8221;Cornhole diagram&#8221; width=&#8221;100%&#8221;][\/photo]<\/p>\n<h3>1. Angle<\/h3>\n<p>The first thing to consider is the throwing angle, advises Kaden. Although there are some\u00a040 disadvantages to tossing the beanbag at a 40-degree angle, it\u00a0balances out in the end and allows for the highest level of accuracy.<\/p>\n<h3>2. Technique<\/h3>\n<p>Spinning the beanbag or making it skip on the board are ways to improve your odds, while also adding some flair to your throws.<\/p>\n<h3>3. Speed<\/h3>\n<p>Execute with a throwing speed that\u2019s not too fast, as such tosses are harder to control.\u00a0A slower speed should significantly increase a player\u2019s odds.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>[callout background=&#8221;#e4e1dc&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"text-left\"><span class=\"text-uppercase\">Keep Cool with DIY Air Conditioning<\/span><\/h2>\n<p class=\"text-left\">To beat the heat, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ucf.edu\/degree\/mechanical-engineering-bsme\/\">mechanical engineering<\/a> grad\u00a0<strong>Kevin Bauer\u00a0\u201916<\/strong> \u2014 former president of UCF\u2019s chapter of the American Society of Heating, Refrigeration and Air-Conditioning Engineers \u2014 offers a how-to guide for creating your own homemade portable air conditioning unit.<\/p>\n<p>[photo id=&#8221;7992&#8243; title=&#8221;UCF Ultimate Tailgating Guide: Do-it-yourself portable air conditioner&#8221; alt=&#8221;UCF Ultimate Tailgating Guide: Do-it-yourself portable air conditioner&#8221; width=&#8221;100%&#8221;][\/photo]<\/p>\n<div class=\"row\">\n<div class=\"col-md-6 text-left\" style=\"margin-bottom: 20px;\">\n<h3><span class=\"text-uppercase\">Parts<\/span><\/h3>\n<ul style=\"margin-left: 22px;\">\n<li>2 dryer exhaust vent hoods<\/li>\n<li>10-inch battery-operated portable fan<\/li>\n<li>50-quart Styrofoam cooler<\/li>\n<li>2 or more gallon jugs of water<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"col-md-6 text-left\" style=\"margin-bottom: 20px;\">\n<h3><span class=\"text-uppercase\">Construction<\/span><\/h3>\n<ul style=\"margin-left: 22px;\">\n<li>Freeze the jugs of water.<\/li>\n<li>Center the fan facedown on top of the cooler lid and trace the outline.<\/li>\n<li>Arrange the two dryer vents on opposite sides of the fan outline and trace each vent.<\/li>\n<li>Carefully use a cutting tool to create holes in the lid using the outlines.<\/li>\n<li>Place the frozen jugs of water inside the cooler.<\/li>\n<li>Replace the modified lid onto the cooler.<\/li>\n<li>Insert the fan facing down into the lid cutout.<\/li>\n<li>Insert the two dryer vents into the lid cutouts.<\/li>\n<li>Activate fan.<\/li>\n<li>Adjust vents in the direction you wish to cool and enjoy.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>[\/callout]<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"text-uppercase\">Keep your Tailgate Green<\/span><\/h2>\n<div class=\"row\">\n<div class=\"col-sm-4 col-md-4\">[photo id=&#8221;7867&#8243; title=&#8221;UCF Knights tailgating goes green&#8221; alt=&#8221;UCF Knights tailgating goes green&#8221; width=&#8221;100%&#8221;]UCF encourages sustainable tailgating with recycling and other green practices.[\/photo]<\/div>\n<div class=\"col-sm-8 col-md-8\">\n<p>Throwing a winning game day party shouldn\u2019t penalize the environment.
