Published online by Cambridge University Press: 22 September 2016
Extract
Have you ever looked at a dartboard and wondered why it is numbered in its distinctive order?
If we ignore the bull, the inner, and the double and treble rings, the standard dartboard takes the form of a circle divided into 20 equal sectors numbered as in Fig. 1. (There are boards to be found in the Manchester area—and perhaps elsewhere—with a different arrangement, but the one shown is by far the commonest.)
