Wolfram Research and Wolfram Alpha LLC sponsored a corporate pumpkin at the recent CUPunkin'Chunkin' event, which benefited the Champaign Urbana Schools Foundation. The Wolfram|Alpha Team used the event as an opportunity to explore the science of "pumpkin chunking."
To see what the team learned, check out this post in the Wolfram|Alpha Blog:
