Darts

The other night I was amusing a friend of mine, and a thought occurred to me. Do dart players embrace the idea of a perfect dart game? Imagine that you were so good at darts that you start with three bull-eyes, then move on down to a triple twenty, triple nineteen and a triple eighteen, and so on and so forth till you have run the entire board. Then, just to rub it in, you hit triple twenties while your opponent struggles to keep up.

Let us go see what the wiki' has to say: LINK

Turns out that there is a lot I don't know about darts. But for those of you who want don't want to click that link, to play the perfect game in darts you can do the following:
* treble 20 (60), treble 19 (57) and double 12 (24)
* treble 18 (54), treble 17 (51) and double 18 (36)
* treble 20 (60), treble 15 (45) and double 18 (36)

If you don't think that is hard, then you have never played darts.

I think that I'm going to stick with air hockey and bocce.
