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?

greatness22:Try it then |
Re: Brain Teaser by greatness22(m): 3:46pm On Jun 14, 2016 |
annnikky:3 i guess |
Re: Brain Teaser by naturalwaves: 4:41pm On Jun 14, 2016 |
annnikky: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. |

Re: Brain Teaser by Davbams(m): 12:00am On Jun 15, 2016 |
annnikky: 39 I'll agree wt 40 iff d socks are nt in pairs already and dat will b weird cos socks are usually in even numbers! |
Re: Brain Teaser by femi4: 12:40am On Jun 15, 2016 |
annnikky:All blues + All reds + a pair of black socks 21 + 17 + 2 = 40 socks |
Re: Brain Teaser by femi4: 12:47am On Jun 15, 2016 |
Davbams: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 |
Re: Brain Teaser by Davbams(m): 12:56am On Jun 15, 2016 |

Re: Brain Teaser by Nobody: 9:43am On Jun 15, 2016 |
annnikky: 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 |
Re: Brain Teaser by annnikky(f): 10:02am On Jun 15, 2016 |
KINGinVAHALA2:Ok I'll consult my result sheet to if ur ansa is correct or not |

annnikky:It's definitely Sunday. i won't fail this one baby. |
Re: Brain Teaser by Davbams(m): 11:17am On Jun 15, 2016 |
annnikky: Tuesday |
Re: Brain Teaser by femi4: 11:30am On Jun 15, 2016 |
annnikky: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! |
