Darts - Help is lacking. #1971
Description
The darts problem description has a couple of problems:
a) There's a link to a wolfram alpha page for "concentric circles" that is unlikely to make much sense to most people, and even if it does, won't actually be helpful because that level of knowledge is not important to the problem anyway (I don't have a clue what the page is saying but still solved it).
b) There should be a link explaining how to calculate the distance between points. https://www.mathsisfun.com/algebra/distance-2-points.html for example is suitable for a broad audience, but there may be others.

Thanks for opening up the issue. I see "wrong" in the title, but can not see where the "wrong" is pointed out in the description. I do see in both points the reference to "lack of help".
Do you have a pull request that can help to clarify what your ideas are on this to improve the exercise?

Sorry, I wasn't really clear in the title. I meant that the help is wrong in that it's talking about irrelevancies. Re-titled.

Thanks for the title update.
Any PR upcoming for this from you?

Sorry, no. That would require I do the whole Git thing. My skills lie in other areas. 🙂
