Hey - finally somebody's trying to work out an algorithm. Not bad. Power Ranger stuff won't go with the young one - although I could just tell him it's special break dance apparel.

Or just cut holes in all his new clothes so they look like they've already been used for a day. ;P

In a couple of days from now, The Daily Insider is going to have a link to your post exclaiming the discovery of a new SOCKS protocol that is going to replace HTTP. :cool:

Use SOAP over SOCKS for a cleaner interface.

Just can't figure it out. How am I supposed to know which socks are my wife's, my young son's, my daughter's, my older son's. Sheesh! Everytime I take them off the line and throw them in the basket, my bride of 32 years complains that I need to keep them in pairs, sort them by owner, and so on. Now that boys wear those low-cut socks, I don't have a clue what belongs to who. And don't get me started with folding T-shirts, putting in the correct piles, colors, sizes, AAARRRRRGGGGHHHHHHH!!!!!! And, whoever heard of folding underwear. I just throw mine in the drawer. Fold underwear! Give me a break. I've got to move to a new place - something on the fifth floor or higher. Jumping out of a ground floor window just isn't effective.
Write the name of the owner on the inside of all of the items ... markers are cheap :rolleyes:

I'm having a hard time deciding what troubles me most: that you know the scent of another man's wife, that you know the scent of some poor woman's husband, or that you know the scent of a dead rancid pole cat... ;)
:thumbsup: :laugh:
Yusuf May I help you?

Mark the toes of the socks with a certain color of magic marker. Or buy everybody different brands. And buy yourself black/brown dress socks. Have your wife wear girly shirts, you wear button-up shirts, have your older son wear whatever t-shirts, and have your younger son wear nothing but Power Ranger themed clothing. Don't wear any underwear; if you can get the others to agree to that, then you're all set. :)

You think that is bad, Ms wife is away on long vacation to her parents house. Right now I have the liberty of doing it *my way*. Once she is back, I will get a pair of those tin foil hats.... :doh:

Anyone who lived in the country knows that one... I'd rule that one out by default.... I'm just an old small-town country hick kid who happened to earn the money for a 'puter in high-school.... I earned it: seeding fields, shoveling ... natural fertilizer, bailing hay, sacking groceries, redrawing architectural drawings of schools, forging senior Id's, selling artwork, and science fair earnings (about $1500 worth over 5 years). :) okay, I'm a little more than a country hick kid. ;P

Ah, so you did it properly then. You made an attempt and messed it up so as to avoid future requests to do it because you would just make it worse. Nicely done :-D

Your design has failed to consider a design 'Evolution point' - the younger son will grow out of Power ranger themed clothing some day. :)

Folding? There's an app for that. Ask Elaine, she is bound to know all about it. :)

I've heard that people fold at home.

I feel your pain. As a programmer, however, I can't answer your question. Instead, I am obliged to point out that you're trying to solve the wrong problem. Suggestions: 1) Buy lots of pairs of generic black socks that will suit everyone. 2) Buy yourself distinctive socks, and let everyone else fight it out between themselves. 3) Get everyone to stop wearing socks. Bin all existing socks. 4) Clip socks together when you take them off, and leave them clipped in the wash. That's how many blind sock-sorters achieve good results. 5) Buy everyone distinctive socks. Eg. you = purple, younger son = pink etc. 6) Ask wife to demonstrate how to sort socks - either learn from her, or (better still) keep asking for repeat demos. 7) Do each person's laundary separately. 8) Learn to make pie - sounds like much less difficult. 9) Send me pie. It won't solve the sock problem, but I do like cherry pie. Mmm... pie.

You help with the laundry? :~

I help quite regularly now casue the soon-to-be wife goes on strike every now and then. In fairness, she was made redundant last year and is taking any work on offer at the minute. This means that sometimes she's working 3 jobs at once and ends up working late into the evening.
