Why would I want the minimum ducks? I want MAXIMUM DUCKS

3 ducks, all three ducks are named “Two Ducks” Edit: thanks to the contribution of spacefun101 we’re at a new minimum of Zero ducks

Two ducks - if you circumnavigate the globe, they're in front, behind, and between themselves

One duck, named 'Two Ducks', with a portal behind and in front of it.

This isn’t a logic question at all, really it’s an example of language ambiguity

All 4 ducks walked up to the lemonade stand and they said to the man running the stand "Hey, do you have any grapes?"

The answer is obviously one duck. A ‘duck’ is obviously referring to a strong linen or cotton fabric in this instance. Therefore, we can fold a duck into a sine wave pattern to have two ducks per bump. Using this method, we accomplish the task with one sheet of duck.

The riddle refers to a guy sleeping on a bench in a park. He recently changed his name to "two ducks in front of two ducks, two ducks behind two ducks and two ducks in between", and he identifies as plural.
