The darts puzzle is bad game design: In any game, a puzzle is expected 
to be solvable in some kind of way. Therefore hints exists. In the case
of the darts puzzle, that hint is the dropped red arrow on the floor 
and the note in the drawer.

Those hints imply that the red dart was at some point attached to the 
board and fell down. This means you have to somehow figure out the 
original position.

As we cannot assume that there is a hint missing (it is on the ground 
after all) we can use our environment to try to derive that missing 
info from things immediately around us: The dart board. Here comes 
the design flaw:

The dart board offers an intuitive hint: A very prominent black pixel 
on the surface at the number 6:

It is even on the right side of the board and the only visible 
imperfection. That has to be the hint! But adding the arrows does not 
give the right solution. Hm. Wasn’t there a rule sheet at the inn ? 

Maybe we are calculating things the wrong way. So then you work through 
the 501 rule-sheet which is further confusing as it opens many 
possibilities on how to calculate a possible score. Combined with the 
switiching of digitis (0 at start or end?) you now have people thinking 
they found the clues but cant put them together.

Then you have a 4 digit code with a 3 digit solution giving a lot of 
ambiguity to any possible combination. Especially if you are following 
a wrong clue.
