one hundred eighty is as acceptable as one hundred and eighty in English
Oh dear. Doesn't accept 180. But it had been accepting the digits till now.
I said one hundred eighty and they said it had to be one hundred AND eighty!

I'm trying to remember if any of the bars I've been in in Tz had a dartboard in the corner. I can't remember clearly, but I think at least one (which was quite "touristy" though) did.

It sounds like he was pronouncing moja like "moya". This is the second example I've heard where he has pronounced a j like a y. I didn't think this was a thing in Kiswahili, so is it just an error in the recording or the sound file?

Kiswahili is spoken across something like a thousand miles of Eastern Africa, in parts of at least 6 countries and in contact with I don't know how many other languages.
There is a lot of dialect-level variation. I don't speak enough Swahili to say how (e.g.) Mtwara near the Mozambique border differs from Dar, but they do sound different.
