Reasoning & candidate comparison Contains the answer
Build an exact checkout from the actual board
- Use the recorded board for “Countries by air pollution (PM2.5)”, where values are µg/m³ of PM2.5. The target is 100, so work backwards from the remainder instead of selecting famous or high-valued entries alone.
- Choose Saudi Arabia, worth 74: 100 − 74 = 26 remaining.
- Choose Bosnia and Herzegovina, worth 26: 26 − 26 = 0 remaining.
- Checking every distinct-entry single and pair on the stored board finds 26 exact 2-dart checkouts and no exact checkout using fewer darts. The chosen sum is 74 + 26 = 100.
| Candidate / approach | Assessment | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Saudi Arabia (74) + Bosnia and Herzegovina (26) | Exact checkout | The recorded values sum to 100 in 2 darts. |
| Saudi Arabia (74) + Laos (26) | Equally short alternative | 74 + 26 = 100. This uses the same minimum number of distinct board entries; it is not scored lower in this calculation. |
| Saudi Arabia (74) + Qatar (108) | Overshoots | 74 + 108 = 182, 82 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.
