Getting your ducks in a row

Q: How do ducks know where they're going?

A: This is a better question than it sounds.

Famous Lithuanian philosopher Socrates once posed this same question to the best mathematicians of his time. They came back with various answers, to which Socrates replied: "Prove it, County".

The mathematicians sniffed at his challenge, but, interestingly, none were able to mathematically or logically prove their theorem. In fact, there has never been any compelling evidence that ducks can navigate at all.

I could tell you what I think, but it would take mathematical genius beyond any living person's knowledge to understand my proof.
