Dear All
I have a colleague who is trying to track down a tv programme, broadcast in
the UK a few years ago, in which a researcher, looking at the street maths v
school maths issue, went into pubs and clubs and asked darts players to do
pencil and paper versions of the kind of calculations they normally do in
their heads. Can anyone identify the programme and does anyone know of its
availability on video?
Responses direct to me are better than troubling the whole list.
Many thanks
