why is a 3 dart finish on the same number (ie treble,single and double) known as shanghai??

Hope this helps:\nSHANGHAI is an alternative game of darts where numbers are drawn on the board and players have to score as many of that number as they can with their turn of three darts. At the end of the game, the player who has the highest score wins. \n\nHowever, if during the game a player hits the single, double and treble of the number then he or she is declared the winner. . (Some versions dictate that they should be scored in a specific order, for example, double, treble, single, but the most popular way is any order.) SHANGHAI is only given on the number that everyone is going for, not accidentally hitting a Shanghai on the segment next door. Hitting the single, double and treble of the nominated number is known as SHANGHAI. \n\nBut then you probably already knew that. \n\nThe word SHANGHAI comes from nautical slang and means 'to drug of otherwise render insensible, and ship on board a vessel wanting hands.'  Nowadays, in a general sense 'shanghai'ed' means anything that has interrupted someone's actions or train of thought, for example “The boss then shanghai'ed the meeting and talked about nothing but himself for the rest of the morning.” \n\nIn the darts sense it means that, by hitting single, double and treble with one turn of three darts you have effectively 'shanghai'ed' the rest of the players out of the game - something none of them wanted to happen.

Its alt+3, and FYI Alt and a number is a way of printing orginal symbols from ASCII text, (first printer data kinda thing)

The second set of numbers represents the length of the brass in millimeters. A 7x ("x" reads "by") 57 means that the case, just like an 8x57 is just that, 57mm long. While strange by US standards, try explaining the meaning of 7-08Rem or 7-30Waters to those on the east side of the pond. I also have and love my 7x57. Very mild, but shoots good and flat out a lot further than I can see. My neighbor has a Mauser in 7x64. Wonderful round! Finding ammo is a bit problematic though. He forms his brass from .270Win Seems to work for him.

If you're in USA that's because a leading "1" is used to signify a long distance call. That's why it cannot be "111" since there's no use in calling an emergency service outside the town where you are.

Many drinking establishments in the medieval era prohibited games of chance... so darts has always been considered a game of skill, and a pub staple ever since. The "official" arrangement changed over time, in it's current form for over 100 years now.\n\nThere are 2,432,902,008,176,640,000 (over 2.4 quintillion) different possible arrangements of the 20 segments on a standard dartboard. The present design is almost perfect in risk/reward arrangement.

is it possible that you are mis-reading the .800 and it's actually a .300 ? very close in some machined etching.

Surface finish is called out as ra, rms, or rz.  They each have their own formula.

No it's not really, but you're meant to write it down in slightly increasing size ie: small 1 through to large 4. It's a psychological test. people avoid choosing 1 & 4 because they're too obvious in extremes and two is weeny, so that only leaves 3 which conveniently fits quite well. \nI've made quite a lot of money in pubs 'reading' people's minds with this trick

i think everyone is missing the point of the question. if i am correct he is asking about the actual positioning of the print on each individual key. now to answer the question, i have NO idea. hehe sorry.

Even in Tennis we use 15, 30, 40 and then game.  You can use 1, 2 , 3 it's okay to use that it shouldn't be an issue with anybody.

Seems like no one knows. I even tried searching and I can't find a thing. Found stuff about why J and V were omitted from a different version, but nothing on I and V in that one. Sorry, but out of curiosity, why do you want to know?

All I know is that it's a TI chip based on TMS320 DSP platform. I found a good expression on the following site, but am not sure it's valid still.\n\nBetter to take a look at TI databooks.\nYours\nFredy

Hmm, I hope the reason is not because 4 is IV and 6 is VI in roman numerals. If so, I can't finish the proof by explaining why someone would perceive IV and VI as the same number :)
