In your drawer are 25 white socks and 25 red socks How many socks must you take out of the drawer before you get a matching pair?
In order to get a matching pair, you must take out a minimum of two and a maximum of three socks. Reasoning: The question does not specify a color for the pair of socks, it just asks for a pair of matching socks (same color). Hence, the first sock you pull will be either red or white, and the second sock you pull will also be either red or white. If the second sock matches the first one, you have a matching pair (reason for my "minimum of two"). If the second sock did not match the first sock, then you have one red and one white sock. The third sock you pull will also be either red or white and you will have a matching pair of either red or white socks (reason for my "maximum of three").
Josh has 12 pairs of socks Half are white and the other half are black Josh needs to find a matching pair in the dark How many socks must he grab before he has a matching pair?
The question is nuts - if he is in the dark, he will never know if he has a pair. If he switches the light on to check, he could pick two from the pile that matched. However if he takes 3 and walks into the light he will have a pair.
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

Do girls prefer us boys in shoes or sandals when wearing shorts?
yes. With shoes, the problem is with the dark socks rather than white. Sandals are fine. Asker's feedback Thanks, though one think is not fully clear, the problem is with socks exposition in general with shorts and closed shoes or only with dark socks? That I knew white socks were often dissed and regarded as little boy socks, I personally never worn them but only for my personal tastes toward black or dark ankle socks. Probably exposed white socks look better with certain type of shoes or clear colors but for leather loafers and shorts, dark socks look much better (can also be worn bare foot, once in a while), always short and ankle length. I understand and agree sandals might look better as we flaunt our feet more with them. I don't like many kind of sandals but some are really cool.
