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?

I'm not sure what you are talking about when you say "no one got it yet."  Are you referring to the "No Solution Yet" note in the problem?

If so, that has nothing to do with whether or not someone's comment contains a solution.  The "No Solution Yet" area refers to the author's "official" solution.  They usually don't post that for a while, regardless of whether or not someone figured it out already.

Hope that made sense!
