4 In the game of darts what is the lowest number unattainable with one dart? One

This is what I first thought too, but if you think about it....

You can hit 1 to 20 with one dart.
You can get 21 by hitting tripple 7
You can get 22 by hitting double 11
but there is no way of getting 23 by hitting anything.



Well that's the theory I went by to answer it - so I hope that's right
