Question

I have 12 black socks and 12 white socks in a drawer. In complete darkness how many socks would I have to grab out to make sure I got a matching pair?

Answer 1

Answer:

3 socks

Step-by-step explanation:

The number of socks in the box does not matter. There are only 2 choices of socks in the box. So, if you take out 3 random socks from the box, you're guaranteed a pair.
