Mr. Blue has 12 brown gloves and 8 black gloves in a drawer in his closet. If he blindly pulls gloves from the drawer, what's the minimum number of gloves Mr. Blue will have to pick, to be certain he has a pair of gloves of the same color?

(In reply to Actual Solution by tresspasser)

Unless there are only left-handed gloves in the drawer


(I am like Rosa Parks or something, I am going to champion this idea till the day I die. Which is probably going to be pretty soon. VIVA LOS LEFT HANDED GLOVES!)
