A bag contains 10 pairs of socks (each pair of different colour). How many draws are required at the most to get a matching pair ?

In the worst case scenario, the first ten tries would be of different colours. The eleventh sock taken out should then definitely be of one the ten colours already drawn.

Thus, a maximum of 11 tries are required to find a matching pair.
