Race 5 times, eliminate the 2 slowest from each race. As there's no possibility that they will be in the top three overall if they couldn't be the top three of their own race.
15 ducks.
Race 3 times, again, eliminating the 2 slowest.
9 ducks.
race 2 times, eliminating 2 from the first race, and then including the 3rd place of the first race into the second race, then eliminating the two slowest from that.
5 ducks.
Race them.
11 races

it does solve it faster than most others, as eating 22 ducks takes a while, and racing them is so much easier

good idea, but instead of racing 3 times, you can race the fastest of each of the 5 groups against eachother
the 2 that lose can have their whole group eliminated
and you also find the fastest of the fastest
Conan:
but that still doesnt handle the case the top 3 are in the first group
whats the 7th race?
