(Easy) Socks [Solved]
« on: August 09, 2005, 02:54:48 am »
I've already showed most of you this one, but might as well post it here too -

Twelve blue socks and twelve white socks are loose and mixed up in a drawer.  If you to select them in the dark, how many socks do you need to take from the drawer to be sure that you have a matching pair?

I'd bet that you're currently bloated like a water ballon on a hot summer's day.

That analogy doesn't even make sense.  Why would a water balloon be especially bloated on a hot summer's day? For your sake, I hope there wasn't too much logic testing on your LSAT.
