12. You have 12 socks of black and white colors mixed in a drawer. You wake up much early and darkness is so much that you cannot tell the difference in both socks. Tell me the smallest figure of socks you have to take out to be convinced of having a matched pair?

13. Three travelers reached at a hotel and came to know that the rooms will charge 10 dollars each so they pay 30 dollars. Later the receptionist realizes that he had done mistake and must have charged only 25 dollars from them. He gave a bellboy 5 dollars to give back to them. The bellboy was dishonest and returns them only 1 dollar each, keeping 2 dollars for himself. So the persons actually spent 27 dollars and the bellboy took 2 dollars. Where gone the other dollar of the initial 30 dollars?

1. The word is "incorrectly.”

2. The time was 1:45 when he pays. The man pays a total of 25 cents. Between two people, He distributes it. Therefore, he pays a two’s quarter.

3. Zero, because boat ascends with the tide.

4. The answer is White. If south direction is facing of all the walls, the house must be at the North Pole, so the bear, definitely, is a polar bear.

13. There is no dollar missing from the original 30 dollars. The confusing part is summing the bellboy's 2 dollars to the 27 dollars, when actually it must be subtracted.
