Except that a perfect shot would be triple 20, not bullseye.

Yep, came here to say that. Still, because of that choice, at least we know that he sucks at darts. He’s not just making it up or something. 
From an engineering point of view, treble 20 wouldn’t be that much of a change. But I suspect for the humans throwing the darts, it’s much easier to aim for the center, which makes this much more successful.

I figure the next step for this project would be making sure it can hit any section, then having a robot arm throwing the darts and pouring pints of warm, inexpensive ale over itself between rounds.

This is also perfectly frustrating, as it is impossible to win a game of darts using this board.
You will never get to 501 with a series of bulls, and this will also undermine any ability to go around the word, which means that your chances of getting the speedboat are eliminated as well.

WhyTF are the people in the bar cheering and celebrating?? They know the board moves to guarantee a bullseye, right?
Anyway, very clever shit.

There’s still winners in the Midlands with a speedboat smouldering in the drive, 60 miles from the sea…
