Be a helpful (seeing) person..

Surely, they can identify their socks by smell.

Tom McCurdy

have them wip out their pocket pc with speaking color scanner and scan the socks
but why would two random blind people want to make pairs of socks...

vikasj007

are all the socks made from the same stuff and of the same size, i mean is there any other way to distinguish them besides on the basis of their color?

arildno

Sure:
The 1.man has silk socks, while the other has only wool socks.

vikasj007

in that case, i don't think there would be much trouble for the two blind men.

vikasj007

in that case, i don't think there would be much trouble for the two blind men. so you can stop thinking about this problem.

Shouldn't the two men have had their socks balled together so that they don't get separated? Just a thought.

marcus

Wait, gokul. this only gets the socks back to the original owner. it does not pair them by color

I thought the question was to find a way to help them get their socks back...

Would this be a clue?
I saw a van one day with a notice on the rear saying ' No Hand Signals-Blind Man Driving this Vehicle'

The van belonged to a firm which fitted blinds to shop windows.

Saw it with my own eyes.

dibilo

since socks come in pair, pick up a pair, open the packaging and divide among them.
in the end they should both have a pair of each colour

Gokul43201

Surely, the 'newly bought' part wasn't in before...

marcus

yes i think the "newly bought" appeared today
with devious riddlers we will learn to print out the riddle

dibilo

lol sorry my mistake ;p
