A strange little side quest
If Party Pop It! sends you down a curiosity rabbit hole, start here. Archery first appeared at the Olympic Games in 1900 and returned permanently to the programme in 1972 after a long absence.

The details change, but the appeal of learning a system and trying again is remarkably persistent.
