;) ;) ;) ;) ;) :idea: :idea: :idea: :idea:

For all of you wordsmiths out there who pride yourselves on having a high iq, can you answer this one ????? an iq question used to test rugby league players iq level back in the 90's was...
'If there are 50 black socks and 50 white socks in a drawer, what is the minimum number of socks you would need to take out of that drawer to be guaranteed of getting a pair ??????? So as not the let the proverbial 'cat out of the drawer' too early.....send me a private posting and i will announce the winners...

G'day

Yes, I too have had a guess. Then thought about the problem and posed another solution.

The answer Tom is 2. Take 2 and you get a pair, if you want a matching pair, you look in the drawer and choose what you want.

Don't need IQ for that, just common sense.

Two if you are a winger as they are pretty smart

And if you are an AFL player you would choose 2 white socks to go with your dark suit and 2 black socks to wear with your sandals , :lol: :roll:

Question Tom. Can you look as you take the socks out of the drawer or you taking socks blindly? Very important for the answer.
