Ok, quick IQ test...

I have a drawer with 50 white socks and 50 black socks in, none of which are paired together.
How many socks do I have to pull out, in a dark room with no light, before I get a matching pair?

No reasons, just numerical answers please.... I'm interested in how people answer 馃

A better variation is to say 10 red socks, 10 blue socks and 10 green socks all mixed up in a drawer. Minimum required is 4 socks.

@Glossy I don't think so... In this case the minimum is still 2... You could get lucky and grab 2 of the same colour up front

@Convivial No, if you want to be 100% sure that you鈥檝e got a match, it鈥檚 definitely four. Nothing to do with luck.
