Riddles part 2… whoever solves it does the next riddle (no googling)

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.

Yep 12 was going to be next answer too.

10 whites you’ve got 5 matching pairs

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

Oh of course! Nice

Lol Doh! Too bad there’s no one here right now to slap me upside the head!

Wait, what if you pull 3 whites?

Got a matching pair plus an extra white

Then you have a matching white pair.

Hahaha :rofl::rofl::rofl: I’m such an idiot
