The harder places to hit are smaller and more points. Also, for the bulls eye, it needs to be a circle because it's an eye! by layout if you mean the way the numbers are arranged...

- It's done mainly to punish inaccuracy i.e if your aiming for 20 there is a chance of hitting 1 or 5 on either side.

the simplest answer is that they're arranged so higher numbers are surrounded by lower numbers, placing more importance on accuracy.

you'd do well using a Google search of your exact question- there is plenty of info out there for you.

the 20 is placed at the top, next to 1 and the 5, because most people tend to go for the triple 20 as it is the highest score, and if they miss the penalty is that they get the lower score of 5 or 1, if the 19 or even the 15 were right next to the 20 it wouldn't be very exiting as even if the player was not very accurate, if they coud just aim it in the right general direction. But with the current layout, you have to be acurate to be good

Why will a dart stick in a dat board but not a penny will not?

A dart board can have darts attach to it through a variety of ways, but usually this is done through magnets or the dart puncturing the board. If you dug the penny into a dart board that is supposed to be punctured, it might stick in there, but on a magnetic board, you would not have much luck since pennies are not made of a ferrous metal.
