5 yet once you had already bundled them into matching pairs, you may merely might desire to take out 2 - one pair. in any different case, in the event that they have been all unmarried socks randomly in a drawer, you may might desire to drag out 5 socks, one greater effective than the variety of colors. reason: interior the "worst obtainable" case, you ought to pull out a black one, then a brown one, then a white one, then a tan one, however the subsequent one you pulled out could might desire to be a adventure.

I would say 2 beacause they are folded in two of the matching colors.

Three, because there's only 2 colors, so you have to repeat a color after 2. ((Unless you get lucky and pull a pair out on your first try))
