It's my birthday

Just like last year, my age is a number you can score with one dart. The year before that, it wasn't, and it won't be next year.



How old am I?

    I tend to read puzzles I see on the HNQ. This one made me smile because I could actually SOLVE it and because we are the same age. :)

You are...




51. Since you can score it (triple 17) and a 50 (bullseye) on a dartboard with a single dart, but not a 49 or a 52.
