It looks like the start parameter for DuckDuckGo API is misleading. Currently it states that the first page returns between 26 and 30 organic_results, and all the subsequent calls with the start parameter return 50 organic_results.

I tested against a couple of different search queries, and start values, and it looks like the initial API call always returns 10 organic_results, and any subsequent API calls with the start parameter (any value) returns 15 organic_results

Current state:
