How far away did it list Iceland as?

20,000: each vowel is worth 4,000 miles and each consonant is worth 2,000.

I have a drawer full of socks. There are 40 socks of each colour, brown and grey, evenly mixed. In the morning, when it is very dark, I need to pull out a pair of socks of the same colour. How many must I pull out of the drawer to ensure that I have at least one pair of matching socks?

Three socks. Whichever I pull out first, the second will either match, or I will have one of each, ready for the third sock.
