I have below logical quiz but can not seem to find a reasonable answer.
Any comment or help will be appriciated.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
A blind man has a draw of socks with 2 dark blue socks, 3 yellow socks, 2 brown socks, and 4 white socks randomly scattered. He has an important function and wants to wear matching socks so decides he will select a number of socks and stop at a sighted friends house on the way that can help him select a matching pair for the function.
1. What is the least number of socks he need to take to his friend’s house to ensure he has a matching pair?
2, What is the least number of socks he needs to take to his friend’s house to ensure he has a ‘dark’ matching pair?
3. Our blind friend is given two more socks, both the same dark blue colour, that he adds to the draw. The next day he is in the same predicament, an important function and he wants to have matching socks. How have the answers to questions one and two changed? Why?
