Ah, a rubber duck debugging adherent. At least they paid good money for a professional.
What is the rubber duck used for? Is it like the seashells in Demolition Man?
Have you ever been stuck on a problem (school, work, personal, whatever) and as soon as you go to ask someone for help, you start explaining the problem and figure it out? You basically use the duck for that - explain the problem out loud to "someone else" and sometimes you'll see what you were missing.
