Riddle of the laundry mat.?

[Joski]

if you had 17 blue socks and 12 Red Sox , put them all into the dryer at the same time then closed the door , and then turned on the dryer for 3 minutes and then open the dryer door, and without looking grab some socks what is the least amount of socks you have to grab to guarantee a matching pair?

[Glenda]

Three will do the trick. There are only two colours so you will definitely get a matched pair after picking out three of them.
