impossible.
with 5 darts 39 and 40 are eliminated because even if you did 4*16=64, 39 and 40 put you over 100.
now if you do 3*24=72, there's no way to get 28 from 2 darts. if you do 2*24=48, there's no way to get 52, 3*17 = 51. 99 is your best answer with 5 darts.
Is this some dumb common core where the closest answer is the right one?

Thanks for the unsolvable problem that just cost me 10 minutes.

Stick to saving lives doc. The boys in here have this under control for me.

If she misses it is a zero.
Does every dart have to score?

reminds me of this from Bugs Bunny:

Triple 17, single 17, double 16, misses board with last two darts.
5 darts = 100
5 darts = 100

It's not possible with 5 darts.
If you use the MINIMUM amount, that's
16, 16, 16, 16, 16
which is 80.
Then to make up the remaining 20 points, you have the available options (the original options minus 16 each):
0, 1, 8, 23, 24
Obviously you can't use 23 or 24 to make 20.
So you are left with a combination of 0, 1, 8 to hit 20.
You can't hit 20 with a combination of 0, 1, 8 using 5 darts. Closest you can get is 19 (1, 1, 1, 8, 8).
17+17+17+24+24 = 99

If double and triple was available, why not just go single 17, single 17, double 17, single 16, and single 16?

To be fair, simple math is not a requirement of my doctors.
My wife is a doctor; she sucks at math, directions, common sense, cooking, and changing a tire
But ill be goddamned if i have a medical question she knows the answer (i always confirm via internet, which really pisses her off).
Edit, because when i give her onternet answer she also tells me the 10000 other scenarios that show why that answeris wrong. In other words, webmd is good but terrible in real life.

Or the teacher wanted to make sure they kept busy by telling them to see if they can do it five darts. Then the kids have to do a bunch more work to see if it's possible.

She hit 17 (4) times and 16 (2) times.
4x17=68
2x16=32
68+32=100
How many darts did she throw? 6 darts hit the board. All other darts completely miss the board.
