6 pairs of black gloves and 6 pairs of blue gloves in my drawer, it's completely dark. How many gloves must I pull from the drawer to gaurantee I get a matching pair?

Correct answer gets much karma .

13 is the smallest number that you will have to pull before you DEFINATELY can have one pair of matching gloves that you can wear.

2 gloves.

It's so dark, nobody will notice the difference if you get the wrong hands or colors.

Not necessarily, you could pull two black left handed gloves and one blue right handed glove.

4 pairs because after 3 pairs (6 gloves) there might still not be enough of one color

after 8 gloves you're going to have at least one matching pair

depending on whether the gloves are ambidextrous, you could have two black gloves that form a pair

3 Is correct. If you pull three out, out of 2 there has to be a matching pair.

but what if the two gloves are both right-handed or both left-handed? i said what you said earlier, but someone posed the right-handed/left-handed question to me

You'd have to pull out all of them to be absolutely sure if you pull out 12 or so they could all be the opposite colour you want this is all based on luck and chance. However to have the smallest amount of gloves pulled out you would need 14 as 12 of these could be the wrong colour so the other 2 have to be the correct colour but if you need Right and Left Handed gloves you would need to pull out all of them to be 100% sure.

>LOD<Dougalachi, congrats you are Teh win. The first answer given was correct, 13.
I could possible take out 6 black left hand gloves and 6 blue left hand gloves, the next one would have to create a matching pair.

(clap clap to you)
