This one is a logic puzzle:
Your sock drawer contains ten pairs of white socks and ten pairs of black socks. If you’re only allowed to take one sock from the drawer at a time and you can’t see what color sock you’re taking until you’ve taken it, how many socks do you have to take before you’re guaranteed to have at least one matching pair?

I am thinking twelve. Pull 10 whites and then 2 blacks.

It’s 3. You pull a black, a white, then either a black or white and you’ve got a matching pair

Got a matching pair plus an extra white
Then you have a matching white pair.

I can fly but I have no wings.
I can cry but I have no eyes.
What am I?
