Students of mathematics can often be found playing darts in bars. The
reason, no doubt, is their love of the subject. For example, recent analyses
such as [1] and [2] have shown that the mathematically adept, yet physically
inept, darts players should aim at the bull's eye in order to maximize their
potential score. This raises the question: what could dartboard manufacturers
do to overcome this strategy? The answer could be to renumber the
board completely. One mathematician to consider the benets and strategies
of possible renumbering was Ivars Peterson, in a popular article [3
