Well, ok then. The duck is smarter than the majority of developers. And by majority I mean everyone to the left of 3 standard deviations to the right of the mean.

No, those are my standard, deviant tendencies.

Happens to me all the time. I believe this is actually a technique (formal name eludes me) and works great. Basically talking out your issues, even to a rubber ducky and then you will come up with the answer. Don't really need another real person, most of the time.
Edit: Haha, just read Rick's response. Rubber ducking, yes that is the name/technique.

Happens all the time to me, too.
And the other way around: When someone comes to me with a problem, and I ask them to explain it in detail, slowly so I can follow it... Sometimes they suddenly exclaim: Oh, I think I know what's wrong! And sometimes, when I watch them I see from their face that the same thing happened, but they say: Maybe I should take some more notes of what happened, and come back to you with more details... (Often I can tell for sure that there is no need to come back - I saw it on your face.)

Happened to mee too, quite a few times: when pondering for some time over a difficult problem, I'll end up asking someone else. But because I first need to explain the problem in a way that another can understand, I am also forced to clearly lay out what, exactly my problem is - and then it turns out, once I've done this, I realize something I wasn't aware of, as well as a new approached based on this realization.
I deliberately use this now by imagining to explain it to someone else. Or I write my problem description and question(s) down as I would when posting it to a forum. This is sometimes enough to get me thinking on new approaches, or even new solutions.
Now I am wondering whether the reason why so many questions posted here seem so badly formulated: maybe those people who managed to formulated their questios well never posted them, because in doing so, they found a solution. 
GOTOs are a bit like wire coat hangers: they tend to breed in the darkness, such that where there once were few, eventually there are many, and the program's architecture collapses beneath them. (Fran Poretto)

That happens to me a lot too.
I also agree with you about the questions here, fully.

Just be sure to check Can I use... because a lot of the CSSOM isn't available outside of Chrome, Edge and Firefox

Looks like some of them were snapped right when they had a short look into the Q&A section.

I was about to say something a bit less nice about those monkeys and Q&A, but I shall try not to.

Have you played it? It seems like a simpler (maybe?) version of Eve?
