In your sock drawer, you have a 5 pairs of blue socks, 4 pairs of brown socks, and 6 pairs of black socks. In complete darkness, how many socks would you need to pull out to get a matching pair of the same color?

Four Socks. In each of the first three even if three different colour socks come out, with the fourth one he would be able to do a matching.
