Reasoning & candidate comparison Contains the answer
Build an exact checkout from the actual board
- Use the recorded board for “Tom Cruise's age in each of his movies”, where values are years old. The target is 100, so work backwards from the remainder instead of selecting famous or high-valued entries alone.
- Choose Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One, worth 61: 100 − 61 = 39 remaining.
- Choose Minority Report, worth 39: 39 − 39 = 0 remaining.
- Checking every distinct-entry single and pair on the stored board finds 9 exact 2-dart checkouts and no exact checkout using fewer darts. The chosen sum is 61 + 39 = 100.
| Candidate / approach | Assessment | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One (61) + Minority Report (39) | Exact checkout | The recorded values sum to 100 in 2 darts. |
| Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One (61) + Vanilla Sky (39) | Equally short alternative | 61 + 39 = 100. This uses the same minimum number of distinct board entries; it is not scored lower in this calculation. |
| Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One (61) + Digger (64) | Overshoots | 61 + 64 = 125, 25 above the target. This is an illustrative calculation, not a recorded player attempt. |
What this does and does not establish
- Calculations use the values stored for this puzzle, including the game’s rounding and scaling. They are not updated real-world statistics. Candidate combinations use distinct entries; the count here covers only the minimum-length combinations, not all longer ways to total 100.
