TBH I guessed that bit as total at that point was divisible by 4 and assumed the answer would be an integer.

Anyway, in feet and inches, how far away from the floor should the centre of a dartboarrd be?

five foot eight and a quarter

impressive stuff UP- the answer on my card was a simple 5 8 which apparently is eye level for a six foot tall individual.

it is good when useless knowledge becomes useful.

in thomas street market on 29.5.1823, john nash "appeared there leading his wife in a halter, followed by a great concourse of spectators" whereupon he sold his wife in an auction.

how much did mrs nash fetch?

nope, not five bob (nor a crown

)

HE is still closest and it was a single coin on maiden bid which won (from a child who was then obliged to sell her on again but that is by the way.
