Am I stupid? Answer this question....

Say you have 6 socks in a drawer, all different colors. There's one red sock and 5 other different color socks. You randomly pull out a sock, note the color and then put it back in. If you do this 6 times, what are the odds that you will have pulled out the red sock within those 6 tries? In other words, at the beginning of the scenario, you say you're going to do this 6 times. What are the odds you'll pick the red one by the 6th attempt?

Why would you do this?

You remind me of the time I crossed a cow field one dark night and dropped my hat. I tried on six before I found the right one.

1 - (5/6)^6 = 66.51%
