Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Create the equipment needed to play your sport. Make an efficient uniform for players to wear. Draw a basic design for the playing field.

Answer: Use balls, rackets, or gear that is used in other sports, or come up with something completely new. Streamline the equipment so it performs the actions that are necessary to play the game. Make sure you have everything you need but nothing extra.  If your sport is played with a ball, find an existing one from another sport that fits your sport well. If you can’t find an existing ball, try making one out of rubber, plastic, leather, or fabric. Build new goals, sticks to hit or throw the ball with, or other objects that are necessary for the game to work. Adapt things that are not even sports related so that they work for your sport. Use kitchen utensils, cleaning supplies, toys, or other everyday items for your sport. If your sport requires specific gear or a uniform, you may have to make it yourself. Use basic clothing like shirts and pants to create a suitable uniform. Be sure to include any safety equipment that is necessary in your overall uniform design.  For example, horseshoes can be played in casual clothing, while ice hockey requires at least skates, but players usually wear a helmet, pads, and extra layers for warmth. Racquetball and tennis don’t require a specific uniform, but wearing tight-fitting and comfortable clothing makes them easier to play. Jot down what you think would be the ideal outfit to play in, but include ways that a player could vary the uniform if they need to. Browse the layouts of existing sports fields. Pick a layout that’s most useful and adapt it. Grab a large sheet of paper and a pencil to sketch out the simple design. If you have some type of computer design software, draw up a detailed version.  Design the layout of the field to suit the goal of the game. If there is a lot of running, you may want a long field of play. If the game takes place while standing still, keep the space small. Include boundary lines, score zones, penalty boxes, starting lines, and any other specific aspects of the field that are vital to the play of the game. Be sure to write down the dimensions of each part of the play area because your drawing probably will not be to scale.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Find at least 1 other person to play with you. Set up a chair for you and your opponent so they're 10 feet (3.0 m) apart. Put a piece of cardboard in front of each chair. Place an unopened beer can in front of each chair. Decide which side will go first and split up the darts. Have all players take their seats.

Answer: You need at least 2 players to play beer darts. If you have more than 2 players, break off into teams of 2. Your chairs should be facing each other. If you’re playing on teams, set up a chair for each player so that teammates’ chairs are about 3 feet (0.91 m) apart and facing in the same direction. The cardboard will shield you and your opponent's legs from the darts. When you start the game, each player should move the cardboard in front of their legs. If you’re playing on teams, you only need 1 beer can per team. In that case, place the beer in the middle of the 2 team members’ chairs. You can flip a coin, play rock-paper-scissors, or see who drinks a beer fastest to decide. Once you’ve decided, divide the darts up evenly among all the players. It's up to you how many darts you play with, but try to give each player at least 2 darts. Beer darts is played sitting down. If a player plays while standing up, their shot doesn’t count.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Get an oak barrel. Assemble the barrel. Fill the barrel with water. Drain the water and replace it with whiskey. Store the barrel in a dark environment. Test the whiskey over time. Strain and bottle the whiskey.

Answer: Barrels can be found online or in brewing supply stores. They come in all sizes, from small, liter-sized barrels to big tanks used by commercial manufacturers. Smaller barrels are easier to use and smaller batches of whiskey age faster. Look for charred white oak barrels. This is the kind of wood used by the professionals. You may also char the inside of the barrel yourself with a blowtorch. Find the spigot, which looks like a faucet. Set it in the hole you'll see on one of the flat ends of the barrel. Next, get the bung, which looks like a cork. Place it nearby. If you have a funnel, you can set it in the bunghole, which will be on the rounded midsection of the barrel. Pour in enough water to fill the barrel. Plug the bunghole with the bung. Turn on the spigot for a moment to see if water flows. Afterward, check the rest of the barrel for leaks. Leave the barrel alone until it stops leaking.  It can take a day or more for the barrel to stop leaking. You'll have to do this process before every use. When the barrel is not in use, keep water in it to save time. Get enough whiskey to fill the barrel. For a small barrel, you'll need a bottle or 2. Opt for an unaged or younger whiskey. Higher proof whiskey ages better, so aim for a proof of 90 or higher. Keep the barrel in a closet, cellar, shed, or another area away from direct sunlight. Temperature changes can help the whiskey mature faster, as they cause the wood to shrink and expand. Spray the barrel with water or pass a damp cloth over it when it looks dry. This will protect the barrel and limit evaporation as the whiskey ages. Smaller barrels of whiskey will age faster. Typically, a 1- or 2-liter batch will be done in a month or 2. The biggest barrels can take several years. Barrels can be used several times, but will take longer to age the whiskey each time. The longer you age the whiskey, the more you'll lose to evaporation. Once the whiskey's taste is to your liking, remove it from the barrel. You can pour it out 1 glass at a time as you strain it. Straining is good for removing char and wood pieces. Place a cheesecloth over a mason jar or other storage container. Pour the whiskey over the cheesecloth. Remove the cheesecloth and the debris it has collected.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Use wet diatomaceous earth to ensure it sticks to the plants. Mix 4 tablespoons (59 ml) of diatomaceous earth with 1 gallon (3.8 L) of water. Fill a spray bottle or garden pump sprayer with the mixture. Spray the plants or lawn section with a fine layer of diatomaceous earth.

Answer:
If you're worried about the powder getting picked up by the wind, spreading a wet application over the intended area will help it attach to the plants and ground. Wet applications of the powder are also the best option when you're treating a larger area. For example, if you need to use diatomaceous earth on your entire lawn, using a large spray bottle will allow you to easily spread it. Use a water jug, bucket, or similar container to hold the contents. Pour in 4 tablespoons (59 ml) of diatomaceous earth for every gallon (3.8 L) of water. Mix these together thoroughly until the powder dissolves. It’s easiest to pour the 4 tablespoons (59 ml) into a jug of water, seal the lid on tightly, and then shake the container to get the powder to dissolve. If you only need to apply diatomaceous earth to a specific spot, a small spray bottle is the perfect application option. For spraying bigger areas, trying using a garden pump sprayer filled with the mixture.  If you're treating 1 or 2 plants, you might use a small spray bottle. If you're treating a larger area, such as your entire flower bed or garden, you'd want to use a garden pump sprayer. Use your spray bottle or pump to apply a thin layer of diatomaceous earth to all sides of the plants. The plants and other necessary areas should be wet, but not dripping. If you’re applying it to leaves, remember to spray the bottom of the leaves as well.
