For all of you who know the answer sh
what's the lowest score you can not score on a dart board with one dart
Mock

 

[Phil Pascoe]

23

 

[Fitzroy]

23 is the obvious answer, which means I must be missing something.

23
All other numbers lower can be got with 1 dart.
1 - 20
21 = triple 7
22 = double 12

22 = double 12

How do you get 22 from double 12?

Double 12 minus 2

You've not read "London Fields" by Martin Amis, then...

My bad eye sight.
Whenever I need a finish of 22 I aim for the double 12.
I usually end up with a double 11 with that method. :roll: :? :?

I'd never even heard of it until now (hammer)

One of the main characters is a professional darts player. He gets annoyed at the use of the term "triple", as it should be "treble".
Funny, but strange book. As are most of Martin Amis's.

The answer has to be 1.
if I hit a two, i cant have hit a 1, which is therefore the lowest score I couldnt score.

 

[Phil Pascoe]

Still waiting - was there a point or a catch to the original question?

 

[John Brown]

19

Oh, no... Thinking of Cribbage.

 

[Geoff_S]

OK, I'll get sucked into this one.

If I have thrown two darts already and I am left with only 1 able to score, then is that the lowest score I cannot score as it wouldn't count, as it is counted but not actually scored?

Or is it 42?

I have a headache.

 

[John Brown]

I think some of you are over thinking it. Unless it's a trick question, then it must be either 23 or 0, depending on the definition of "board".

 

[Tasky]

Lowest score in darts?

Surely that'd be a "Miss"?

 

[user 19915]

That would be a no score so what's the lowest you can not score with one dart 23

 

[Hornbeam]

For mathematicians it is the lowest prime number greater than 20

 

[Tasky]

That would be a no score so what's the lowest you can not score with one dart 23

And since you have two more to throw, the lowest score would be a Complete Miss... which is zero, I believe. Don't think you can get lower than that! :lol:

 

[Phil Pascoe]

Zero isn't a score.
