Can you answer this simple question?

[halo_john17]

Ok, I like to play little logic questions sometimes for fun. This one is pretty simple - let's see if you can get it. (I'll post the answer tomorrow.)

Here it is:

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?

Correct answer gets..... an e-Heineken and an e-Pat on the back, lol

OK 13.
At worst, the first 6 gloves will be the same hand and colour, the next 6 another hand/colour, the 13th must be the other hand for one of those already out.

she can afford 12 pairs of gloves but cant afford a torch,candle or to pay her electricity bill!!!!

13 i say, why is she putting gloves on in the dark ?

[halo_john17]

Oh, quite a few have got the right answer! The right answer is 13, because she can pull out all one handed gloves of either color, so the 13th glove would provide a correct match!!! I didn't expect so many people to try answering it.. I'll see if I can't remember another one and post it today.

bonghitt's answer is just hilarious :-D cheers!
