The duck puzzle
A Facebook page named Minion Quotes recently shared an image that has gone viral among puzzle lovers. The post features a bright yellow background filled with rows of adorable white illustrated ducks. At first glance, it might look like a simple picture, but there's a hidden challenge waiting to be solved.
Placed boldly at the top of the image is the question: “How many duck you can count?”—a simple query with a surprisingly complex answer.
What makes this puzzle particularly tricky is that some ducks are cleverly disguised within other ducks. These tiny ducklings are nestled inside the outlines of the larger ones, making it quite a task to spot them all unless you’re paying close attention.

The core of this brain teaser is to accurately count every duck present in the image. While it may seem straightforward at first, many people quickly realise it’s harder than it looks. Some ducks are partially hidden, and others are cleverly camouflaged, blending right into the bodies of their larger counterparts.
Social media users have been busy sharing their guesses in the comments, with numbers ranging all over the place.
