Darts fans stumped by question on The Chase that left contestant completely baffled

Darts fans have been locked in a fierce debate after seeing a question on The Chase that left contestants completely stumped.

For years, popular ITV quiz show 'The Chase' has treated fans with questions about various different sports-related questions, with many of them much more difficult than some would expect.

Perhaps one reason why sports come up so often on the show is due to presenter Bradley Walsh's previous career in football, which was brutally cut short after a the Englishman suffered a major injury.

However, while football questions regularly feature on the show, it is a darts question that has left fans baffled, as nobody can agree on what the correct answer should be.

In a recent episode, a contestant faced off against Chaser Shaun Wallace, nicknamed 'The Dark Destroyer,' and was met with a truly bizarre question about darts.

The question was as follows: 'A tournament dartboard has how many scoring sections?'

Although Wallace showed no hesitation, the contestant for the episode admitted she had no idea, as she confessed: "I've never seen a dartboard, is that the green thing?"

The three answers presented to her were 82, 92 or 102, leading to her selecting 92.

However, some fans took to social media to point out that they believed that the correct answer was actually none of these options, with many pointing out that it should be 62.

Explaining their point of view, the fans claimed that it should be 62 as you can score either a single, double or treble for each number from 1 to 20, plus an extra two for the outer and inner bullseye.

However, as the correct answer was revealed to 82, Wallace explained the total is 82 as there are actually two different single scoring sections at either side of the double section, meaning that in total there are four different scoring sections for each number on the board.

Reacting to the moment on social media, one fan wrote: "What a confusing question."

While another added: "Brutal question for someone who took the low offer."
