Well done Char, I used to like the quizzes! The best one you ever did was the picture quiz but let's see how we do with this:

1) Dynamite

2) 22

3) Roy Hattersley

4) I would say white but strictly speaking white is not a colour so it would then say red.

5) Francis Ford Coppola

6) Tinwald

7) Florida

8) Colonel Tom Parker

9) Blackbeard

10) Chaucer

11) 1694

Thanks Char, be gentle with me!!

[Bunkerbarge]

[Bunkerbarge]

Sorry.

 

[rjwood_uk]

lol.

so is blue right for the flags question char?

 

[AerynPk]

Nope its question 2 bunker got wrong.

 

[Bunkerbarge]

Now you've got me. Everything from 1-20 can be scored with a single dart and 21 is treble seven so the lowest number that cannot be scored with a single dart must be 22 surely?

 

[rjwood_uk]

surley its 3? 3 darts in 1. or it is 6. one dart in 1, one dart in double 1 and one in trebble 1?

youv got me miffed as well

 

[alan2525]

Isn't 61 the lowest number that can't be scored with a single dart, you could score treble 20 with one dart but would need 2 darts for 61.

 

[Bunkerbarge]

The question is:

"what is the lowest number that cannot Be scored with a single dart?"

Not the lowest or highest number that can be

I still cannot see how the answer cannot be 22 unless it is a trick of some sort.

22 can't be scored with a single dart and that is the lowest number that you can say that with. All other numbers lower than 22 can be scored with a single dart.

 

[alan2525]

Can't you score 22 by getting a double 11?

 

[Bunkerbarge]

Bugger!!, course you can, what an idiot.

So it must be 23!

 

[AerynPk]

Now you've got me. Everything from 1-20 can be scored with a single dart and 21 is treble seven so the lowest number that cannot be scored with a single dart must be 22 surely?

Not according to my sources of the internet

 

[rjwood_uk]

yea it is 23!! nice one alan!

 

[AerynPk]
