    A logic question

    # Cathy has six pairs of black gloves and six pairs of brown gloves in her drawer. In complete darkness, how many gloves must she take from the drawer in order to be sure to get a pair that match? Think carefully!!

    What if i get some souffle from el-anbbar
    what if Caty could take out 6 black left hand gloves and then 6 brown left hand gloves, the next one would have to be either the right hand or left hand match.

    a question to you all
    What is the largest possible number you can write using only 2 digits?

    I should add that a Gouvernment that robs Peter to pay Paul, will always depend on Peter to have his budget ...:-) In other world he need more Peter then Paul

    OK I'm sure it's about a right and left glove of the same colour then!

    6 and 6?

    13 for me then.. the next one would have to be either the right hand or left hand match.

    FORTUNATO you're cheating aren't you?

    Which means I know the answer for your next question Don't want to spoil it though.



    Khti Amina, nope that's not the answer (although that was my initial answer too) and yes we should take right and left into consideration. Just put yourself in cathy's shoes or should I say gloves

    But anyway FORTUNATO has already given you a very big clue
