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?

Everyone missed the obvious. 0%. If you have three socks, you don't have
a

Uh, uh. I've got a male Hershey bar. Give me four dollars, a red sock, a
ticket to Portland, a female Hershey bar, a green sock, another male Hershey
bar, two more green socks, all the amputated letters in the state of
Florida, a battle cry, a digital camera, and I've STILL got a male Hershey
bar. Go further, and give me all the male Hershey bars in the world,
and......SURPRISE!.....I've STILL got a male Hershey bar.
