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.

...either 30, 36, 42, 45, 48, 54, 57 or 60 years old!
Misread the question a little, you are now
51, congrats!
