That looks like an algorithm for _playing_ darts. That I understand.
I have two dartboards (one real, one electronic) and a coule decent
sets of darts. It's watching darts on TV that I don't get.
Actually, I don't really get watching any sort of sports on TV (even
the ones I play). But there was just something about darts on TV that
seemed particularly beyond the pale.
