Summary[]
The task was presented inside a loaf of bread. Contestants had to find a duck giving out unsubstantiated medical advice. While the lake had many fake quacking ducks in it, only one had a recording of Tom C giving out bad medical advice. A business card for the "Ducktor" was also hidden in the loaf of bread, with a picture of the quack on it.

Aaron Chen: Aaron found the quack's business card, which didn't seem to help him at all. He rowed out and caught several ducks, throwing the quack to Tom in 12 minutes and 4 seconds. Aaron received 2 points.
Concetta Caristo: Concetta started by throwing bread crumbs at the fake ducks, before rowing out into the lake.

Trivia[]
