Dusty: Whatcha doin', Perfessor? Professor: Oh... I'm trying out this new "Mind Aerobics" online training program, Dusty. It uses problem-solving to invigorate our thinking process. Dusty: ya' don't say! Kin I try it? Hmm... Hold on a minute. I'll be right back! Professor: But, Dusty... you haven't fini... hey! That's my sock drawer!! Dusty: Answer: 60 socks. Problem #1: You have 30 white socks and 30 black socks in a drawer, but you are in a pitch black room. How many socks would you have to pull out to be sure you had one white and one black one?
In the original problem I read years ago, it was green and red, because those colors appear the same in the dark. White and black are too easy recognize in low lighting.
