Socks in the drawer puzzle. It was around 4 in the morning, and I'm all dressed up, ready for schook, when the electricity was cut off. Too bad, I haven't put on my socks yet. I have 2343 pairs of gray socks, 3212 paris of pink socks and 6525 pairs of blue socks. Everything is mixed in my drawer.(I'm a bit of irresponsible, sorry about that.) As there was not light, I was not able to identify the color of the socks. How many of the socks did I need to take to match one pair ?
