Yes, I know that. But I still for the life of me don't understand the clue. The clue is: "Too obvious" What does that have to do with ducks?

Like I say, I'm missing something.

The clue was "Too obvious". That's it. No mention of ducks.

Here: https://www.ozpolitic.com/forum/YaBB.pl?num=1762801587/41#41

I'm not sure where "Too ducky" fits into it - that was never part of your original clue. Maybe you forgot to add it?

I'm so confused Grin
