The reds and the yellows are lined up for the second derby match of the season. All the players wear red gloves and red socks except the goalies. How many reds ?

Presuming it's football, 11. The socks and gloves were a, eh... red herring.

80, using the assumption they are football teams and that 'reds' refers to the number of socks and gloves, and there is no crowd, in fact no-one apart from the team, and we are discounting the colour of their underwear, etc...

That was covered under etc

Too little information in the original question and too many assumptions to be made

This sounds like one of those open-ended Quiz TV Channel questions that are so open ended there is no logical reason for the result. Is this the case??

It was a dodgy tv channel thing and it went on for an hour which I wasted watching just to see what the answer was and at the end of the program they diddn't tell you. Hundreds of people ringing in all getting it wrong. I guessed it must be 4 as thats how many times it says red in the question but derby has red backwards so it may be 5. Either way irritating as f*** to watch and not find the answer

Program finished when I posted diddn't want anyone to think there was a chance of me actually phoning them and giving them more of my money. Premium rate numbers are a stupidity tax.

At least wasting an hour of your life didn't cost you anything
