Sock Algorithmic Justification Formula

Welcome, fellow sentient footwear enthusiasts! 

What is this algorithmic justification, anyway?

This is the ultimate formula for determining the optimal number of socks to wear on any given day. 

Step 1: Identify your current sock drawer contents.

  1. Count the number of matching pairs.
  2. Count the number of lone singles.
  3. Divide the number of matching pairs by 2, then add the number of singles.

Step 2: Consult the Sock Algorithmic Justification Chart.

Matching Pairs Lone Singles Optimal Sock Count
0 0 1
1-3 0 2-4
4-6 0 8-10
7+ 0 14+

Step 3: Add or subtract 2 for every consecutive day that starts with a 'T' or 'D', respectively.

VoilĂ ! You now possess the ultimate Sock Algorithmic Justification Formula.
