My "Hypothesis" is 1/3 given you can't pick the same sock twice. 1 4 not match 2 4 match 4 2 match 3 1 match 2 1 not match 4 4->1 not match (missed) 2 4 match 4 1 not match 2 3 not match 2 1not match 4 4->3 not match (missed) 2 2->4 match 4 4->2 match 2 2->2->4 match 2 1 not match 2 3 not match 3 4 not match 4 2 match 4 4->4->4->2 match 1 1->3 match 3 3->2 not match (missed) 2 3 not match not match : match 12 : 9 Let's go again.. 4 2 match 2 1 match 4 4->1 not match (missed) 2 4m 3 4n 4 4 2m 4 3 n 4 2 m 31 m 12 n 11113 m 24 m 31 m 2221 n 24 m 12 n 13 m 22 m 34 n not match : match 12 : 7 total; 24 : 16 41 n1 41 n2 21 n3 42 m1 332 n4 221 n5 21 n6 223 n7 443 n8 32 n9 13 m2 43 n10 not match : match 10 : 2 (ouch) total; 34 : 18 At a sample size of 52 pulls that's a telling 52% (those are coincidentally matching numbers I just so happened to stop there). Feel free to keep going. This probably has a blind spot where people don't understand the first sock is in a quantum position. ... Copied to Clipboard! |
