There are twelve socks in a drawer--six red socks and six blue socks. The room is completely dark, you can not see. How many socks must you take from the drawer before ABSOLUTELY having either a pair of red socks or a pair of blue socks in hand?
Answer to last week's puzzle:
Fill the 3 gallon jug. Pour it into the 5 gallon jug. Fill the 3 gallon jug again. Pour it into the 5 gallon jug a second time. The milk remaining in the 3 gallon jug is one gallon.

Paul and Corie Bratter are newlyweds in every sense of the word. He's a straight-as-an-arrow lawyer and she's a free spirit. Their new apartment is her most recent find: it's too expensive with bad plumbing and in need of a paint job. After a six-day honeymoon, they get a surprise visit from Corie's loopy mother and decide to play matchmaker during a dinner with their neighbor-in-the-attic, Velasco. Paul just doesn't understand Corie, as she sees it. He's too staid, too boring and she just wants him to be a little more spontaneous and run "barefoot in the park"! This is a rib-tickling comedy you will enjoy!
Add-on Special — "On the Verge"
By Eric Overmyer
Oct. 1, 2, and 3 at 7:30 p.m.
In Eric Overmyer's new comedy, three female Victorian explorers set out on an adventure that takes them to darkest Africa, highest Himalaya and Terra Incognita. Three sister sojourners', each a prototypical Victorian lady explorer, equipped with dialog as pithy as their helmets, thwack their machetes through the wilderness while telling tales of past jaunts among the natives. As intrepid trekkers, they put the lie to any charge that they are representatives of a weaker sex. Heroines to their heart, the explorers can accommodate themselves to any emergency (natural or man-made). In their kaleidoscopic adventure, they journey through a rain forest of hundreds of artifacts from the future — household utensils, mechanical contrivances and a side-view automobile mirror that reads 'Objects in mirror may be closer than they appear'. How does one deal with such a phenomenon?
Add-on Special— "An Evening of Tennessee Williams"

With offers of poetry and packets of seeds, he helps her break free from her dreary life.
Lord Byron's Love Letter
A spinster and an old woman are in possession of Lord Byron's love letter. A matron stops in to see them and reads the letter.

Apparently, while in Greece to study the ruins, the grandmother met Byron on the steps when he returned her dropped gloves. From this moment, they fell in love. As the story unfolds, more secrets and strange behavior is revealed.
