What is 2 q in a c?

"Two quavers in a crotchet." "Quaver" and "crotchet" are chiefly British musical terms for eighth-note and quarter-note.

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").
