    I was trying to match four different coloured pairs of socks which had come out of the washing machine. There was a blue pair, a red pair, a green pair and a yellow pair. Unfortunately I'm completely colour blind and could not differentiate between them, so I paired them randomly. What is the probability that exactly three pairs matched?

    Absolutely no chance of exactly 3 pairs matching

    Correct Roller, if three pairs match the fourth pair does too.

    The solar system contains eight planets. Pluto, which used to be the ninth planet, was reclassified as a dwarf planet in 2006.

    it was when they left
    thought it might have been a trick question
    ie they made it a province on the way out
