The Winner Is

Rubber Duck

54 - 46

Our exhaustive analysis reveals a result that may confound expectations: the Rubber Duck emerges victorious with a score of 54 to 46. This outcome reflects not the Triangle's weakness but the duck's remarkable strength across multiple dimensions.

The Bermuda Triangle, for all its fearsome reputation, proves upon examination to be largely smoke and mirrors, a construct of sensationalist media and humanity's appetite for the inexplicable. It cannot reliably threaten vessels, its mystery has been substantially debunked, and its cultural legacy includes the unfortunate promotion of pseudo-scientific thinking.

The rubber duck, by contrast, delivers consistent value across every metric that matters. It brings joy without pretence, serves practical purposes from bathtime to debugging, and has achieved global recognition through genuine merit rather than manufactured fear. In the confrontation between authentic simplicity and fabricated complexity, simplicity prevails.
