Summary

Improves the Darts exercise description by addressing two issues:

  1. Replaced the Wolfram Alpha "concentric circles" link with a simpler Wikipedia article that's more accessible to a broad audience
  2. Added a hint about using the distance formula to determine which circle a dart falls in, linking to mathsisfun.com

Changes

exercises/darts/description.md:

  • Changed the [concentric] link from Wolfram Alpha to Wikipedia's "Concentric objects" page
  • Added an exercism/note block with a distance formula hint and link

Fixes #1971

This contribution was developed with AI assistance (Claude Code).

Replace the Wolfram Alpha concentric circles link with a simpler
Wikipedia article, and add a hint about using the distance formula
to determine which circle a dart falls in.
