Two. A pair is two socks.
You didn't ask for a matching pair, just a pair.

Actually, its 16. You can pick 5 left black socks and 10 left blue socks. This means the next sock you pick will be a right sock of any color.

2 if "pair" means 2 socks.
3 if "pair" means 2 socks of the same color.

5 yet in case you had already bundled them into matching pairs, you'll only ought to take out 2 - one pair. otherwise, in the experience that they were all unmarried socks randomly in a drawer, you'll ought to tug out 5 socks, one better than the variety of colorations. reason: interior the "worst a possibility" case, you may want to pull out a black one, then a brown one, then a white one, then a tan one, although the subsequent one you pulled out may should be a experience.
