Supreme Court nominee Neil Gorsuch was asked during his confirmation hearing Tuesday whether he'd rather fight a horse-sized duck or a hundred duck-sized horses.

Sen. Jeff Flake (R., Ariz.) explained that he texted his family members and asked them what he should ask Gorsuch.

"My son Dallin, a teenager, said, ‘Ask him if he would rather fight a hundred duck-sized horsed or one horse-sized duck?'" Flake said.

"I had never heard it either," Flake said apologetically as laughter broke out. "Apparently it was a question on Reddit a while ago."

"You can tell him I'm very rarely at a loss for words, but you got me," Gorsuch answered.
