BamaFan1137 and the sock drawer...

[Sunburnt Indian]

As I was deleting some old posts, I read some material that might need clarification. If not, pay no mind.

Do this experiment. Take 5 socks of a color of your choice. Another 5 socks of a different color. Spread them loosely in a drawer. Close your eyes and remove 3 socks. 2 will be of the same color. Maybe all 3. You will have a matched pair. 3 is the correct answer. Did one of our slow tell you 6?

1+1=2 is math's simplest equation. This is the AXIOM. it can be argued 0=X. It seems our slow has a problem with axiom and argument. As hard as it is for the slow to grasp, some questions have compound answers.

Our slow does not want to engage in "5th grade quizzes."

We've been through this. Stevie Wonder can solve it. Pull 3 socks, good to go. BSC could not. This one stumped me for 2 minutes. Keep em coming. Remember, I posted the world's simplest equation where
BSC = X
X+ 1 = 0

BSC has found new mathematical empirical ground to be thesis worthy. Less than zero is still a value. Just how much? We all know. 😂

NavigatorII, Ghost, several of us and I would have to sit through a test session to learn scoring order. BSC and his pal needn't bother. They shout to us where they would score in virtually every post they make.

This one absolutely owned me when I first heard it. It was fun figuring it out. Of course, since I'm confident enough to admit that I make mistakes, admitting that I didn't get it at first didn't damage my ego and I had a good laugh.

Not all of us are capable of such. 😂

BTW, I've had fun with a few others using these socks. 😁

Ummm, Excuse me, I was told there would be no math.

Understanding my own limitations and owning up to my mistakes is the #1 difference between young me and middle aged me.

Just basic math, you know, so we can count our huge profits and gigantic paychecks.

I was slower than NavigatorII. In my testing session, I skipped past the socks question and returned to it later.

OK let us know when middle-age you starts posting here. 🤣🤣🤣

In before @LizardGrad89 finds this thread and posts 10 times a day for the next month about how no one cares about this silly question.

Fatman is awesome. Like me but less good looking and without the micropenis.

He is REALLY pissy today. Accuses a Gator fan of being a KY fan, gets owned. But ownership of that property is about as prestigious a waterfront lot on the Passaic River.

What a great bunch of guys we have here. I owe nail1988 a big thank you for inviting me along.

I first was introduced to the Great Medicine Man nail at SoonerScoop. nail introduced political topics before Josh became unhinged.

You are a welcome addition to our community Sunburnt. Even if you can't reach the slowest of our slow, it's not like you didn't try. A+ for effort, F for result.

I am indeed a miserable failure, along with some others here. But we just keep on trying.

I failed the quiz today. I feel like @BSC911 I pulled 2 socks out of my drawer at 5:30 AM and they didn’t match. I know now what it feels like to be slow.

2 socks gives you and BSC a 50-50 chance for a matched pair. Do you think you can get through to BSC?

If you pull them consecutively you have a 22% probability of getting two socks of the same color, no?
There are 10 socks, 5 of each color. Pull the first one and there is a 50% chance of either color. Then, to pull a second sock of that color, there is a 4 of 9 chance or 44%. So the probability of pulling color 1 the first time (50%) and the same color on the second pull (44%) is .50 *.44= .22.
So 1 out of 5 times on average you’ll pull matching socks in the first two.

8% probability of getting 3 of the same color socks in a row.

Could always just buy all socks the same color, then you have a match 100% of the time.

I bought George brand black socks from Walmart years ago. I'm covered. And they're really good socks.

Daughter bought me OU socks a few years ago for Christmas but I rarely wear them. They're heavy and easily picked out by feel.
