Riddle me riddle...

Posted by Nebia on February 17, 2010

once a man who is acustomed to wear only white or black socks, wants to take a pair of socks to wear, from the big bag where he usually put them scrumbled.Suddenly the light switch off.

   How many socks should he take to get a pair of the same colour?

    You got it you are the smartest one but don't say that it was silly if so how does it come none could find it! it is a problem of probability and not everyone can have your chance!!!!!

    oh dear Atika don't you know that men are untidy hahaha they put their socks any where !? you have to give the least number to get at least one pair of the same colour:white or black! think more you are close to it.

    logically,socks are scrumble by pairs,otherwise he will never find the missing one without light unless he is blind and doesn't need to choose a colour !!!

    Just take any of the pair, later he could colour it himself to be in black colour.
