Sox Unseen
Sam's fave colors are blu and green, so it's not surpristing that he has six blu sox and six green sox in his sock drawer. Unfortunately, they are hopelessly mixed up and one day, in complete darkness, he has to grab some sox to wear.
How many sox does he hav to take from the drawer to make sure he gets a matching pair-either green or blue? (For some strange reason, his mother insists that his sox haf to match!)
Gloves Galore!
Gloria's fave colors r pink and yellow. She has sox in those colors, ofcoz, but she realli likes gloves!
In her glove drawer, there are six pairs of pink gloves and six pairs of yellow gloves, but like Sam's sox, the gloves r all mixed up. In complete darkness, how many gloves does Gloria hav to tak from the drawer in order to be sure she gets one pair? She doesn't mind wheather it's a pink or yellow pair.
Nine Coins
Wendy got into trouble in her math class. She was sorting out money she planned to spend after school, and accidentally dropped nine coins on the floor. They fell with such a clatter that the teacher was angry at the disturbance and told Wendy to remain at her desk after school until she could arrange all nine coins on the desktop in at least six rows with three coins in each row.
Can you do it?
