Why don’t they have left handed violinists in an orchestra?
Violin teachers usually instruct all of their students to play right handed whether or not they are naturally right handed. Most people are right handed, most violins are made right handed and most violin teachers are right handed.

If a left hander has aspirations of playing in an orchestra they have to learn to play righthanded. However there are left handed violins and you can learn to play lefthanded but you won’t usually be able to play in an orchestra because you will not synchronise visually or functionally with the rest of the violin section.
Why are dart boards numbered the way they are and not 1 to 20 in a row?
The sequence was devised by Brian Gamlin in 1896 to make dart throwing more of a skill rather than a game of chance. Generally high scoring segments are placed adjacent to low scoring segments so inaccurate throwing is penalised. For example, either side of 20 is 1 and 5. If 18, 19 & 20 were all together and you aimed in the general direction of 20 you would still get a high number and it would be more about chance than skill.
