Guyz d brain teaser is here again, it goes like this.

A man has 53 socks in his drawer: 21 identical blue, 15
identical black and 17 identical red. The lights are fused
and he is completely in the dark.

How many socks must he
take out to make 100 per cent certain he has a pair of black
socks?

Since the room is dark, going by probability and random selection, the worst thing that can happen is for the man to unluckily pick all the blue and red stockings first. That will be 21(blue) + 17 (red) = 38 selections. He will be left with just black stockings. In order to get a pair(2), he needs to select 2 more and that makes 40. Therefore ,in order to be 100% sure, he needs at least 40 selections.

All blues + All reds + a pair of black socks
21 + 17 + 2 = 40 socks

39 wont give you "a pair of black socks". A pair of black socks = 2 socks.

39 would had been the correct answer if the teaser was in this form:

How many socks must he take out to make 100 per cent certain he has black sock?

OR

What minimum socks must he take out to make 100 per cent certain that he has at least a black sock

No 1. I believe we should use to determine our answer.

After the day which comes two days after the day which comes immediately after the day which comes two days after Monday; Two days after Monday is WEDNESDAY or THURSDAY, immediately after these Two days is either THURSDAY or FRIDAY; So judging from number 1. which is supposed to be use in judging this day, it means 3 days after THURSDAY or FRIDAY, and that comes back to SUNDAY or MONDAY.

So my answer is SUNDAY or MONDAY! hahahahah

In reverse order, using "2days" "immediately" "2days" and "three days"

"The day that comes two days after Monday would be Wednesday.

The day that comes immediately after will be Thursday.

The day that comes two days after this date would be a Saturday

And finally, the day that comes three days after this date would be a Tuesday.


Final answer: Tuesday!
