There's no fooling you, is there?  But you haven't got the answer, have you?

It's you. There is no answer to you I'm afraid.

You wanted a blue pair to match the suit, that's why you went to town

[size=16]The Answer[/size]

The correct answer is 12, I think. 

Banjax got the reasoning right, then the answer wrong, then right, then wrong again.

The man in question will not wear brown, white or scruffy shoes with a blue suit.  So there can be 8 discarded shoes before the first acceptable shoe appears.  The worst case is that he then picks out 3 right tidy black shoes before a left shoe is pulled out, and that would be the 12th shoe to be pulled out.

The man in question has just been upstairs and observed that there are 10 shoes scattered across the bedroom floor.  The white shoes remain under the bed because they were known to be at the end of the line of shoes, and, in any case, they're made of canvas and don't feel like a leather shoes.

I wonder what happened to my beige shoes?  I know I took them on holiday.  They must be in the cupboard.

I have lots of shoes, none of them live underneath my bed. Interesting eh?

Blue shoes?  Blue, with a suit?  Good Grief, you might as well suggest suede shoes.  Now that's a good idea - blue suede shoes.  Where have I heard that before?

Come to think of it, I've got a pair of blue shoes somewhere.  Not under the bed though.

I'm very sorry, if not particularly surprised, to hear that your shoes live at all.
