    This is a fun question but I do have a secondary question. First off, I knew the answer before viewing BUT.....
    that is based on picking ONE sock at a time. My actual question, what if you blindly picked your two socks at the SAME time? Does the math change?

    I had watched this when it first came out - and to "me", it's completely wrong... or
    it's all in the exact wording.

    If you pull out one sock and THEN do the math, the odds of getting a identical one
    on the second pull is less than 50% like the video shows.
    BUT - if you figure out the math BEFORE you pull out any socks, it's 50/50
    Also, if you reach in and pull out TWO socks at once - it's still 50/50.

    The only case where it's not and the video is right, is when you pull one out, know what it is
    and this makes a imbalance in the possible selections that are left for the second pull.
