The West Ham football kit manager has 11 pairs of claret coloured socks and 11 pairs of blue coloured socks. Unfortunately, the light bulb has fused in the kit room so he has to pick the socks in the dark! How many socks does he need to take to make sure he has any matching pair for the club captain Mark Noble?
He would only need to remove 3 socks to be sure to have a matching pair. However if you wanted to guarantee a particular colour, say blue, he would need to take 13 to guarantee a pair.
If you wanted a pair of blue socks you might be unlucky enough to pick up 22 claret ones but then the next pair must be blue.

It's right there in the first post - pairs. Your answer was based on single socks. :biggrin:
Gatwick sent consultants to the site to search for the orchids in July 2017 but none could be found.
It was concluded that rabbits or cows may have eaten them. :biggrin:

Thought you should know.
