Just like last year, my age is a number you can score with one dart. The year before that, it wasn't, and it won't be next year.



How old am I?

  • Woooow. I hate to say this but why didnt you wait until Monday? :) You could have showed a picture and blurred out the number with a timestamp of today.

    I tend to read puzzles I see on the HNQ. This one made me smile because I could actually SOLVE it and because we are the same age. :)

You are...




51. Since you can score it (triple 17) and a 50 (bullseye) on a dartboard with a single dart, but not a 49 or a 52.

Last and next year, your age couldn't be thrown with a single dart, but this year you can, right? You are...




...either 30, 36, 42, 45, 48, 54, 57 or 60 years old!




Misread the question a little, you are now




51, congrats!
