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?

Duh!! Its 3. If he pulls 1 black then 1 blue, he only needs 1 more. People may get this confused with. "what is the minimum number needed to be pulled to get a blue glove" or something like that.
