By day I’m a Data Analyst, so naturally I was wondering which duck pattern had resulted in the highest percentage of reports on The Little Yellow Duck Project website.
In the below chart of ducks released vs ducks reported, you’ll see the recently released pattern Other Brother Darryl has proven to be the most reported both by percentage and quantity. Duck patterns where I only made and released 1 or 2 are not included in the chart.
I would note that by the time I started making Other Brother Darryls I had become much more strategic about where I left ducks. Also, all of Other Brother Darryl’s tags included the handwritten message Where did you find me? Add me to the map at www.TheLittleYellowDuckProject.org on the back of the tag.
To be fair to Love Bug who sits at the bottom of the list with none reported was handed out at the Rehab/Nursing/Hospice facility my aunt was staying at where internet access would have been more limited and patients may have had a difficult time even reading the tag.
Pattern | Released | Reported | Reporting Rate |
Other Brother Darryl | 15 | 10 | 67% |
Darryl | 10 | 6 | 60% |
Quick Quack | 13 | 7 | 54% |
Lil Ugly | 10 | 5 | 50% |
Filbert | 9 | 4 | 44% |
Sewn Duck | 9 | 4 | 44% |
Ultra Mini Ugly | 17 | 7 | 41% |
Mini Duckling | 10 | 4 | 40% |
Just Duckie | 33 | 9 | 27% |
Ugly | 13 | 3 | 23% |
Felt Duck | 10 | 2 | 20% |
Phat Beak | 6 | 1 | 17% |
Love Bug | 5 | 0 | 0% |
I have 7 Lil Other Brothers ready to go, but they have not been released yet. It will be interesting to see if they report as well as Other Brother Darryl or if Other Brother Darryl remains on top.
I’ll keep you updated on the results.
