You have a bucket of jelly beans. Some are red, some are
blue, and some green. With your eyes closed, pick out 2 of a
like color. How many do you have to grab to be sure you have
2 of the same?

Answer Posted / joe schmoe

if you pick 3 times, the worst case scenario is that you
have red-green-blue. (In all other scenarios you will have
already picked 2 of the same color). So you are guaranteed
to have either a red, green or blue jelly bean on the
fourth pick.
