The Socks
Cathy has six pairs of black socks and six pairs of white
socks in her drawer.
In complete darkness, and without looking, how many
socks must she take from the drawer in order to be sure to
get a pair that match?
If you are smart then solve this...
Kindly post your answer as comments.
minimum 3 pair....then get a pair match
all of them from the darkness and bring it to light so simple ....
answer -- 3
Socks do not come in in left and right, so any black will pair with any other black and any white will pair with any other white. If you have three socks and they are either colored black or white, then you will have at least two socks of the same color, giving you one matching pair.
