Knitted socks have been found ancient tombs in Egypt dating 3-6th centuries AD. Romans wrapped their feet in strips of leather or woven fabric by the 2nd century they were wearing udones. These were woven fabric pulled over the foot. In Europe socks were strips of cloth or hide that were wrapped around the legs and feet. In the middle ages the legs of pants became lower and more fitted. Hose was a fitted cloth that covered the lower leg. When "breeches" became shorter hose got longer and around the 12th century feet were added to hose. Knitted hose was worn in Scotland around the turn of the 15th century and then in France. William Lee invented the first knitting machine and many of his principles are still used today in modern textiles. By the 1590's knitting machines were in full use and knitted hose became more common.

Who invented the Fibonacci sequence?
Leonardo Fibonacci wrote about recreational mathematics, some of which involved number series such as the Fibonacci series that he is credited with discovering. * * * * * It is said that he was modelling rabbit population when he came up with the sequence that now bears his name. The rules are simple: 1. Rabbits that are one year old are juveniles and do not breed. 2. Each pair of rabbits aged two or more produce a pair of rabbit each year (forever!). 3. No rabbits ever die (what?). The whole process could apply to periods shorter than a year. Year 1: One pair of rabbits aged 0. Year 2: One pair of juvenile rabbits. Year 3: One pair of mature rabbits + One pair offspring aged 0 = 2 pairs Year 4: One pair mature + One pair offspring age 0 + One pair juvenile = 3 pairs Year 5: Two pair mature + One pair offspring age 0 + One pair juvenile + one pair offspring age 0 (from the newly mature) = 5 and so on. This model is a pretty poor descriptor for a rabbit population so I suspect it is not true. But makes an interesting exercise for young minds.

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").
What is the independent and dependent event for if you pull two pair of socks at the same time?
The independent event is the first pair of socks. The dependent event is the second pair of socks, because the first pair changes the probability of the second pair.Yes, the question said "at the same time", but this answer remains valid because one pair will affect the other pair, somehow, someway, i.e. even if you choose both pairs "in the blind", they are mutually interdependent. That's the real answer.
