Brain Teasers
Darts, Pt II
Trick
Trick brain teasers appear difficult at first, but they have a trick that makes them really easy.Trick
Boudreaux, a master dartsman, was bragging to his bar mates that he was such a consummate player, he could hit the dartboard in any location at will.
"I'll wager a hundred dollars that, no matter what position you name on the board, I'll be able to hit it."
Thibedeaux, tired of Boudreaux's windbaggery, shouted out an answer.
Boudreaux stammered for a few moments and at first refused to pay. The other bar patrons, however, made sure he held up his end of the wager. Boudreaux slammed a hundred dollar bill on the counter and stormed out.
Where on the dartboard did Thibedeaux suggest?

Haha! thatw as a good one!
Good one!
If he threw it really really really really really hard and completely impaled the board with the dart, would it count as hitting the back? >.>

lol so trickey ill get you back someday..
Cute! I got it right away
Easy, but cute...although I don't think that was very sportsmanlike of Thibedeaux.
good one - got it straight away - unusually
It is said that this site is for all ages.Well that teaser is definitely for the very young.
Well, since this site is for all ages, its probably good that there are a few easy teasers for those very young people.
Totally agree. And some of us oldsters need an easy one now and again. Thanks for posting.
Easy, yes, but fun and creative anyway.
Fun. Thanks.
A good laugh! Thanks muchly
This was great! I laughed pretty hard after i figured it out thanks for the gut buster
Very easy, very silly, but the kids will love it.
very easy.
Lol, I guessed the metal wire separating the different sections of the board. That's what I would've said
EZ But couldn't he've simply turned the dartboard over? Ah well... nice job.
It is one of those electronic ones, so turning the machine around wouldn't technically be the back of the board.
WOW that was easy but fun
well sadly doehead not all of us can be as clever as you
cool! got it
This is a REALLY good one! I still got it, but it was clever! 10/10

Cheers for my first post!

Nice one!
Awesome, I got this one too.
Wow, that's clever. For some reason my mind didn't picture that as part of the board.
I liked it well enough, but would contend that you have mistold the riddle. Position is not precisely the same thing as part. In the original, the bettor closes the doors of the cabinet and "Okay! Hit it in its current position."
Woohoo! I got it right! Nice one!
amazing
Couldn't he have just turned the board around and then throw a dart?
I got it, but I agree with Plutoking.
Are there no challenging ones anymore? This was a ho hummer! Sorry!
It was easy, but still a great teaser. I agree with the above posters that there need to be some easier ones for the younger kids (don't want to discourage them by making them all too hard). Though I got it right away, I know a few ppl who may not have. Clever.
I don't often even have a guess for riddles, so I was perfectly happy to hit one (no pun intended) an easy one that I could (as a European above said) answer 'straightaway'. Thanks!.
Delete ONE before 'no pun'.
Don't know why he would stammer - just throw the dart hard - if it goes all the way through the cork he's hit the back and walks with the cash.
the 100 dollars slams SO hard that it makes the whole building fall down
YEA !!!!!!
First to comment in 2014 !!!!
And I truly appreciate the continuance of Teaser-Of-The-Day for the "veteran" contributions to this site.
And to those of you who object to this, then the solution is simple:
01. Contribute some teasers of your own.
02. Recruit some new members to Braingle.
For without 01 and 02 above, Braingle will soon not continue to exist.
And that would be the most tragic event of all.

Good one!
nice and easy..I actually guessed 'the side of the dartboard'
Very easy. I finally got one! Yahoo!
Yes, this may have been an easy one but I liked it a lot!! I also love the comments! Good advice, BB02!
Cute and funny.
Now that I am older I look for flaws and this has a definite flaw. Only one side can be a dart board and that is where the target lies. To turn it over the target disappears an it is just a board. So he could have won the bet by challenging exactly what a dart board has on it. One side is a dart board the other is not. it is just the back with nothing on it.
Another fun and easy teaser.
That was wicked amusing!
Junior level me thinks?
I found the answer both obvious and debatable. I did enjoy the effort put into the story and the interesting names. Overall, I was not a fan of this one. JMHO, YMMV.
Fun, easy and entertaining teaser. I got this one very quickly.
Good one!
