You want to stack half of the boxes you have in your scoring zone to maximize your score.

Don't forget: y=ax^2+bx+c.

It really does work. You just have to use the right coefficients.

y=ax^2+bx+c

The coefficiants are a, b, and c. The right coef's would be a high a with a comparably high b, and something in c
