?? + ?? + ?? = 100
Hint 1: the unit

What I played on Sat, Oct 24, 2026
Our research on Sat, Oct 24, 2026, pinned to Eastern Time, recorded “Super Bowl halftime headliners by Super Bowl number” and an accepted three-headliner combination at 100/100. This is one checkout, not the only one. The result-screen record also noted that a two-dart checkout was possible; this review did not replay that claim.
| Dart | Headliner | Value | Why |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Michael Jackson | 27 | Headlined Super Bowl XXVII on 31 Jan 1993. |
| 2 | Diana Ross | 30 | Headlined Super Bowl XXX on 28 Jan 1996. |
| 3 | Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band | 43 | Headlined Super Bowl XLIII on 1 Feb 2009. |
27 + 30 + 43 = 100. The Wikipedia halftime list records Michael Jackson at Super Bowl XXVII (31 Jan 1993), Diana Ross at XXX (28 Jan 1996), and Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band at XLIII (1 Feb 2009). Our game research recorded the board’s source date as 28 Sep 2026.
At 2026-10-24 20:19 UTC+8 the public tally on the result screen was about 3,000 players, a 4% hit rate, an average of 21, and a 77% bust rate. Those figures move every hour. I am not treating them as a standing fact.
