It is a fascinating question

If they did 13 Miles running but had to score 501 points on a dartboard (finishing on a double/bullseye) every mile, who would win?
>>
Farah easily
>>
Littler easily
>>
Put the two of them against a very old gorilla
>>
>>154445761
Sounds good to me.
>>
As a marathon runner and shit darts player myself, it's easily Mo Farah

Even if you did 6 minute miles like Mo is more than capable of, you can just aim at the dartboard generally and have a chance of hitting some numbers. Then when you're on a double, it's just popping away at D1 or D2 or something until you hit it.

Meanwhile Luke is throwing up after three miles of 15 minute mile running.
>>
A shitter can get 501 with a couple of tries. That fat fuck would die after running 4 miles
>>
ol' tubby wouldn't get anywhere near to completing 13 miles, the longer pauses for farah at the dart section are inconsequential
>>

At every mile … that might be genuinely interesting. Littler would win if he trained a bit, I think. If it’s double-out, he will be done much faster than even a decent darts player runner. Doing that 13 times might be enough to give him the win if he lost some weight and practiced. His running time is the easiest of all factors to improve.
Farah in particular is retired, hard to say how fast he is. But I guess everything mostly depends on the darts skills of that particular elite runner and the stamina of Littler. No one can reliably say how good they are. But I‘d wager that one cannot treat the running distance as a real half-marathon. You run a mile 13 times, but there are breaks. That might make things closer.
It’s genuinely interesting. A somewhat decent darts player would probably defeat Littler if he’s as fat and slow as I think he is
>>
After the second mile Littler would be steaming out his ears and would probably have a worse accuracy than Farah and it will only get worse every mile.

Littler probably can’t throw that well when out of breath, and even running one mile 13 times with significant breaks would be a massive challenge for him, I think. If Farah is still in good shape and an average player, he wins. Even if it’s double-out. If not, it’s not even worth a thought. Littler training for this might shake things up, but as it stands, he’s likely too slow - even though it isn’t a half-marathon in one go
But it’s actually a bit closer than expected when I begin to think about the exact times. Say the elite runner needs 65 minutes for the entire distance, it’s stop and go every mile and he slows down at the end to arrive with a somewhat steady hand. If Littler needs twice as much time, the runner has like 5 minutes each for the 501. Plus the time Littler needs. Not super easy for the average guy in my opinion. It takes a bit of darts skill as well, and a somewhat fit Littler would likely win. But as it stands, my money is on the runner. Especially if he spent a bit of time getting into darts, which is probably more likely than Littler becoming a good runner
>>
>>154445740
Doubles in or only Doubles out?
>>
it could take the guy hours to get 501 once let alone doing it 13 times, this wouldn't be close
>>
I really don't know how good the average guy is at darts. Or how fast you can expect someone like Littler to run a mile ... 13 times. Or how good Littler is at darts after running said mile ... multiple times
Just make it happen, it sounds very interesting
>>
I can't do either, so we can use me as an example and then give these two an assumed time of approximately zero compared to me in their respective sports.

I would walk a mile in 15-20 minutes.
It would take about 10 minutes to throw 501 on a dartboard.

So if Luke Littler runs like me, then throws 501 10 minutes faster than me, then he would beat me at this event by a total time of 13 x 10 = 130 minutes.

Mo Farah, who by the way is the only person in history to have won TV gameshow The Cube, so he's definitely good at more than just running, would throw darts like me but run each mile 15 minutes faster than me. He would beat me by 13 x 15 = 195 minutes.

So it doesn't matter how long I'd take; they would both beat me, and Mo Farah would beat me by over an hour more than Luke Littler would. Therefore, Mo Farah would also beat Luke Littler.

Regular people try darts, having not played in years or having never played, and it takes maybe 15 minutes at the very outside (plus here the runner would be hurrying). What's this hours b.s.

If it's the runner vs a competitive darts player who's in decent shape, it's kinda close. The darts player would need to run, however, and most people, let alone most darts pros, have never tried running that far. I doubt Littler could walk it at 3 mph, just over 4 hours, over 3 hours slower than Saleh.

What if it was clear a snooker table every mile vs Shaun Murphy?

The real question is whether a human could beat a computer at chessboxing.

>littler
Still shocked from knowing he is only 14.
>>
As a fellow fat man I have to point out that Littler would not even be able to finish 13 miles if he's not used to walking for at least an hour.
Yes, his heart etc. could take it because he's young but it's probable he'd get calf cramps and most importantly his feet would be absolutely wasted. It really, really hurts walking a long time at his weight (if untrained).
>>
>>154446877
I'm fairly tubby, less fat than Luke Littler but also a lot older, and a couple of years ago I tried to see how much walking I could do in one day. I went about 25 miles. I was definitely limping very slowly for the last several miles, and I did have a job at the time that helped me usually do around 10,000 steps a day, but I am confident Luke Littler could walk a mile at a time. The worst pain is that shin thing.
>>
The first mile or two might actually be pretty close but fatso would be dead by that time.

"You see this Winter Biathlon? It combines cross-country skiing with shooting a rifle. We got a lot of alpine snipers that are into this?
How about swim 500 meters then strangle a guy? Makes as much sense to me."

This.
It's not even a debate. Anyone who seriously has to think about this is a NPC retard whom just wants to take part in some gay viral normiefag smoothbrain 'debate'.

KSI?

>>154445740
Farah, easily.
Unless you have to count your own score then Littler, easily.

>the only person in history to have won TV gameshow The Cube
Based anon dropping the big facts
>>
People itt underestimate how hard it is for someone who never played darts before to get a 501
>>
Lets do some quick maffs. If Littler does a brisk (for a fat man) walk at an average 4mph he'll do the half marathon part in 196 minutes. How long does it take to throw 3 darts, retrieve them from the board, and set yourself back at the oche? 30 seconds? If he averages 12 darts to check out that would be another 26 minutes for a total of 222 minutes.

The world record for the marathon is a bit under 2 hours, so lets say Farah is a little out of shape after retiring and can do a half in 65 minutes? That leaves him 157 minutes to do the darts portion, or 12 minutes per checkout. Assuming he can throw/retrieve at the same pace as Littler that gives him 72 darts per checkout, for an average of about 7. If someone is throwing randomly at the dart board, and continually fails to hit any doubles/trebles/bull, their average should be 10.5, or 44 darts to get into doubles range. So as long as Farah can hit a double in, on average, 28 darts or less, he'll win.

Would be a glorious sight actually. Fat lad on death's door crawling towards the tape while an incredibly frustrated Somalian boomer sprints the final mile to try and overtake him at the finish line.
>>
>>154460419
1 mile is nothing for Farah. He could run much faster than his usual marathon pace without getting out of breath for the dart throwing. And the dart breaks mean he'll recover easily and keep his pace.

in some way being good at darts is a disadvantage for the fat kid, since he gets smaller breaks and has no stamina. Once he's exhausted after a few miles his dart throwing will likely get worse as well.
>>
>>154445740
they should organize this event
>>
>>154459807
It's literally just hitting big numbers until you need a double tocheck out. It's impossible to take more than 10 minutes
>>
>>154473591
>just hit 180 every time bro
I can't believe Somalians are too stupid to have thought of this.
>>
>>154475280
do you even know what 501 means? do you think it's a 9 dart finish or something? literally anyone can check out 501 eventually
