Hello mathematicians, puzzlers, and other curious people!
Rubber duck debugging is a troubleshooting method from computer programming, but it works for any other technical subject you’re having trouble with too. In basic terms, you explain your problem to a rubber duck, and by doing so you think through the problem more clearly to help yourself see the answer.
It doesn’t have to be a rubber duck — teddy bears and the like work just as well — but rubber ducks were a popular early option and so they got into the name of the method.
Let’s get together and make some ducks to help us solve problems.
Quack You Later!
