On the swedish version of Taskmaster a contestant had a brilliant solution for this. Same rules. She chose one dart from one meters but after every time she had thrown the dart she got up to the board, collected the dart, went back behind the line, threw it again and carried on like that for 10 minutes! Perfectly within the rules! Loved that solution!

This clip has captured the essence whole movie in it. Especially the 10m contestants. The tease that Tim Dillon is already good at darts gets us thinking that for sure he will score high. Then the eventual realisation that most of Tim's darts didnt hit the board and Russell who, at first we thought, wasn't good at darts getting much more darts to hit the board leading us to think that maybe Russell got a higher score. And then the final reveal that most of Russell's darts that hit the board hit the black portion which grants no points while Tim scoring second best. 10/10 Had me gasping at every part.

We took it to a park and hung it on a tree. I ended up scoring 194 points with 10/60 darts hitting the board. Expected value for a dart hitting the board is somewhere around 12-ish points, so on average you just need to hit ~5x darts in order to get 60 points. Massage felt great :)
