Santa has lots of mixed up socks in his sack! If he has 6 green socks, 4 gold socks, 8 black socks and 2 red socks, what is the minimum he needs to pull out of his sack to get a matching pair?

This is the minimum Santa needs too pull out his to get a matching pair.-

Santa would do it first 3 times. Then, he would do it again but this time, twice. Then 4 times, and then twice again!

Hope this helps!
