Brain Teaser 1/5

Sorry I'm so late......

There was a man who went to the mall and he bought 3 pairs of red socks and 3 pairs of white socks. Another man who already bought 3 pairs of red socks and 3 pairs of white socks came back to return his 3 pairs of red socks and 3 pairs of white socks. They are both blind. As they were walking they bumped into each other. All the socks scattered around the floor, but each pair remained held together by a rubber band. Nobody helped them pick it up except each other, but in 3 minutes they both put them back altogether. Each man ended up with the same colors of socks he started with: six red and six white. How is that possible if they are blind?

They put different sized rubber bands on the white and red socks? EX: White had wide red had thin?

The teaser doesn't say if the socks are ankle, crew or knee...could be that both men, although they had the same colours, had different styles of socks which made it easy to distinguish the difference.

Geez! Late with the question; even later with the answer.

They both took one sock from each pair!
