If your sock drawer has 6 black socks 4 brown socks 8 white socks and 2 tan socks how many socks would you have to pull out in the dark to be sure you had a matching pair?
The answer is 5 socks. There are only 4 different colored socks, so you could only grab a maximum of 4 socks before you would double up on colors. If you wanted to guarantee you had 2 of the same colored sock then you would need to grab 5 socks. wateva

If there are 6 white socks and 6 black socks drawing one sock at a time how many socks must be selected to be assured to get a pair?
7 If you don't care which color you get, the minimum number falls to 3. Say you pick the first sock and it's black. If the second one is also black, you're done. If the second sock is white, then pick a third sock. If the third sock is black, it matches the first sock; if it's white it matches the second one. Either way, you have a pair.
