Seven-League Boots

Meanwhile, back at the castle, the ogre found that the
boots he had picked at random from his dark storeroom
were all six-league boots. He threw them back. He
needed seven-league boots so that he could cover more
territory.
If in that dark storeroom he had four six-league boots
and eight seven-league boots, how many boots did he
have to pull out to make sure he had a pair of sevenleague
boots?

    Six. Since he had only four sixleague
    boots, if he took out six boots, he’d have at least one
    pair of seven-league boots.
