game of chance
Pick a duck, any duck.
But first, you have to close your eyes.
The colors matter, but don’t bother trying to remember which ducks are which color. They spin the bowl as soon as your eyes are shut.
They all feel the same, so you won’t know what color duck you’ve chosen until you open your eyes, and there aren’t second duck-picking chances.
(Some of the blue ones aren’t actually blue, by the way.)
And it looks like there’s a decent percentage of yellow ducks, but hardly anyone ever gets a yellow one, which is too bad.
Really, you’re pretty safe unless you get a pink one.
Then, well…
Pick a duck, any duck.
