To tell whether a person is an engineer, or a mathematics/ Operations Reasearch
type, give them the following problem:
A box contained 50 red socks and 50 green socks. You withdrew two socks; one
green and one red. What is the probability of having a matching pair on the
next withdrawal?
I'd like to know who the hell has 50 pairs of socks -- all red and
green, no less. Santa Claus?
