Nope. I reckon you could ask 100 people and you'd be lucky if 1 person got the right answer.
Possibly. It's not really a trick question, but the answer is very tricky
Ok then, 172 and change is my next proposal, your opponent is also on fire and hitting nine darters 
167 if you are playing on your own but higher if you are playing an opponent 
Its higher than 167
171.4 isn't correct.
You have to think outside two boxes to get the right answer

i think i got that answer buy 3 nine darters and 2 missing on d12 then wiining the set 3-2 but i dont know what i worked out ha
174.4 is the right answer if it was best of 3 rather than first to 3
I got:
leg 1: 180, 180
leg 2: 180, 180, 141
leg 3: 180, 180
giving 1 dart average of 58.143; giving 3 dart average of 142.43
leg 1: 180, 180
leg 2: 180, 180, 141
leg 3: 180, 180
giving 1 dart average of 58.143; giving 3 dart average of 142.43
174.2 with the best of three and you lost the match
173.9 with the best of three and you win the match
no two legs required in final set
173.9 with the best of three and you win the match
no two legs required in final set
173.5 still wrong.
That' what I got and I was convinced I was right until my son wanted to bet me £20

To be clear, is it best of three legs per set ?
Is there a requirement to win the final set by two clear legs ?
And how many sets ?

set = best of five legs so first to three. No requirement to win by two legs
ok, five leg sets, best of five sets
match average of 173.76 and I lose or 173.24 and I win
match average of 173.76 and I lose or 173.24 and I win
I get 174.8 in a losing set, too, Angoose, but 172.2 in a winning set.
Does throwing first or second affect this? Having the throw in the best of 5 may be a different highest average to not having it
Or if it's the highest possible average we are assuming you have the throw first
180 highest possible, hit one then miss the board with every other dart. Booom.
If you throw first, you have to get a nine darter for a 167 leg average
When your opponent throws first, he hits a nine darter whilst you throw two 180's for a 180 leg average
When your opponent throws first, he hits a nine darter whilst you throw two 180's for a 180 leg average
I suspect that we are all still stuck in the second box that Clydebank mentioned .....
Throw 2nd in every leg or just the starting one? If you throw seconds in every leg starting second I think you can go 180, 180, but your opponent throws 9 darter each time.
Title says at the World's, so leading on alternative legs.
Yep stuck in the second box
A bit of seemingly illogical lateral thinking needed.

180 - leg 1
167 - leg 2
180 - leg 3
167 - leg 4
180 - leg 5
Against the starts average = 174.8?
167 - leg 2
180 - leg 3
167 - leg 4
180 - leg 5
Against the starts average = 174.8?
You're the third one of us to apply that logic and get 174.8 :-)
Ok, going for an average of 180, you retire hurt after losing the opening leg 
"180 - leg 1
167 - leg 2
180 - leg 3
167 - leg 4
180 - leg 5
Against the starts average = 174.8?
"
.....
The average is 173.5 because you've thrown 3 times in the 167 legs and only twice in the 180 legs. But 173.5 isn't right anyway
167 - leg 2
180 - leg 3
167 - leg 4
180 - leg 5

^still can't see better than that answer (173.5) at the mo... :(
You might have cracked the second box Lat. but have been let down by your addition
1-0, Score 180, 180, lose to a 9 darter
2-0, Score 180, 180, 139, lose to a 9 darter
3-0, Score 180, 180, lose to a 9 darter
174.14?
2-0, Score 180, 180, 139, lose to a 9 darter
3-0, Score 180, 180, lose to a 9 darter
174.14?
slight adjust to that, 174.2857, hit 140 rather than 139 .....

To crack the second box you have to figure out that to achieve the best possible average you don't want to get the best possible score.

That's a good one and we all jumped in to the trap ....
that will be a bloody bad last dart to leave double 1 
Yeh, that was a good question Clyde. Thanks for that one, and well done Lat.
NS - It would be a bloody bad penultimate dart to not leave a finish!
