munkee Posted May 25, 2005 Report Share Posted May 25, 2005 Ok this happened last week and taken till now for me to be arsed to upload the pics. Basically what happened was, playing darts was going for treble twenty when on my 2nd dart this happened: There have been a few people saying i just pushed them in but they weren't there so i dotn really care what you think. My friend james was and we spent a good 15 minutes laughing at how stupid this is, what the hell are the chances of throwing a dart in to the back of another AND it staying stuck in. The point is jammed in to where the flight thing goes in good and proper. Just thought you'd all like to see. :angry: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob_P Posted May 25, 2005 Report Share Posted May 25, 2005 I didnt really get it at the start, as I just thought that the dart had gone off the board or someting! Then I read it and looked again :angry: Nice shot (N) (N) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScotchDave Posted May 25, 2005 Report Share Posted May 25, 2005 I imagine that the odds of that happening will be something like: (the area of the dart, over the area of the board) X (the magnitude of the varying speeds the dart has to be travelling to actually stay stuck in the second dart over, the varying speeds at which the dart could be travelling[within a certain limit] ) X (the magnitude of the range of forces that the second dart had to hit the first dart to not make it fall out, over all the forces it could have hit the second dart with [again will be subject to limits]) X(the magnitude of the range of angles that the first dart could hit the second dart with to stay stuck, over all the angles the first dart could have hit the dart). This is just a guess, I've never done statistics and I don't have a clue about it really. I just thought I'd take a blind guess. :"> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Bleech Posted May 25, 2005 Report Share Posted May 25, 2005 its 450,256 to 1 nice shot though :angry: mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RicH_87 Posted May 25, 2005 Report Share Posted May 25, 2005 does it count as a 20 then or a no shot? i don't dare play darts anymore. everytime i play someone gets stabbed or something gets broken (car windscreen for example :angry: ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spunkey_monkey_boy Posted May 25, 2005 Report Share Posted May 25, 2005 so if i stand there and throuw 450,256 darts into a dart board one will stick into the back of another? of do i have to put on in the board and then throw the other 450,256 times before it'll stay stuck in the back???

JT! Posted May 25, 2005 Report Share Posted May 25, 2005 Go for the third one!!!! The chances of that happening depend on the darts and how good you are, either way it f**king impossible to do. (N) :angry: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomm Posted May 25, 2005 Report Share Posted May 25, 2005 That happens more often than you would think. I've seen it happen a couple of times in the pub where I work :angry: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rocktrials Posted May 25, 2005 Report Share Posted May 25, 2005 very nice shot, people always come close by hitting the flights but thats a good shot haha, darts is a wicked game! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Hardman Posted May 25, 2005 Report Share Posted May 25, 2005 Wont it be more. Firstly you have to cacluater the chane of one dart going at point 'x' then you have to do the same for the next dart. Then you times those two numbers together, I swear your looking at over a million to one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomturd Posted May 25, 2005 Report Share Posted May 25, 2005 That happens more often than you would think. I've seen it happen a couple of times in the pub where I work :angry: ← Agreed.. Ive done it a few times (not saying that to look 'hard') but its not that rare.. Once its happened once the flight becomes f*cked (the 2 layers of a wing seperate) its not too difficult to hit it in the same place again. I guess the reason you dont see professionals do it is because the flights they use arent cheapo jobbies, and they're stuck together properly (N) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScotchDave Posted May 25, 2005 Report Share Posted May 25, 2005 Nah, cos once the first dart is in it doens't matter what the probability of it landing where it landed is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony Harrison Posted May 25, 2005 Report Share Posted May 25, 2005 Mike Lausman would have done it for a pound. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N.Wood Posted May 25, 2005 Report Share Posted May 25, 2005 Yeh, i've done that a couple of times actually (I am actually the worst darts player in this fine world.) Erm, yeh, nice work (Y) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Garland Posted May 25, 2005 Report Share Posted May 25, 2005 Well surley it would be the area of the dartboard and the area of the tip of the dart giving however many different places of landing then doing something with that and the area of where the dart hit maybe? Im no genious so its a random guess. Nice shot though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrMonkey Posted May 25, 2005 Report Share Posted May 25, 2005 Yeh, i've done that a couple of times actually (I am actually the worst darts player in this fine world.) Erm, yeh, nice work (Y) ← I would disagree I smashed a window with a dart, and it was a magnetic board, and I wasn't ill or intoxicated, or near any intoxicants. I completely shattered it but it didn't fall out or nothing. This is at about 7 foot aswell :S Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ctc_666 Posted May 25, 2005 Report Share Posted May 25, 2005 Ive done that a handfull of times. Once i nearly did it with the 3rd dart but i ended up destroying two darts in one go (Y) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
