Shmartiopolis, 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 from 10 feet away." Maddie, tired of Shmartiopolis's bragging,

he held up his end of the wager. Shmartiopolis slammed a hundred dollar
bill on the counter and stormed out. Where on the dartboard did Maddy suggest?
