Tuesday puzzle

[stek]

no, according to my book on advanced statistics , the answer to the first puzzle is 1 in 3
and the second is 50/50



here's my sock one - assume its pitch black and you have ten white socks and ten black socks in a drawer, how many do you have to take out to ensure that you get a pair?

Three!

I read that in Whizzer and Chips Annual in 1966. Advanced Stats or what!!?
