Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. In a game of cribbage, which of these scores cannot be scored for one hand?

Answer: 19

25, 26 and 27 are also not possible. Sometimes when a player has 0 points, they will say they have 19. 1 is scored if you have the jack in the suit that is turned up, known as His Nob. 29 is the maximum score, and occurs when a player holds 3 fives and a jack in his hand.

The jack must match the suit of the card that is turned up. This card must also be a five. 15 can be scored in a number of ways.

2. In cribbage, how many points would be pegged, if a player holds the 2,3,4 and 5 of diamonds, and the Ace of diamonds is turned up?

Answer: 12

1 x 15 for 2. A run of 5 makes 7, and 5 for a flush makes 12

3. What is the highest 3 dart score possible?

Answer: 180

3 x Treble 20

4. When finishing on a double, what is the minimum number of darts needed to finish a game of 501?

This means hitting the treble 20 at least 6 times. A typical finish would be 180, 180, then treble 20, treble 19 and double 12
