Entirely the opposite for me. Code which I haven't been able to get to run for days suddenly runs first time when I ask someone to do a code walkthrough with me. Infuriating.

I have a shelf of ducks, and I organised for everyone in the company to get a branded rubber duck at our last meetup. But there's apparently something special about trying to show buggy code to a real person.
