Bill has a sock drawer. It has 15 socks in it. He has three identical
pairs of black socks, three identical pairs of grey socks, a pair of blue
socks and a green sock.
In the dark he randomly grabs a handful of socks and dashes downstairs.
He grabbed five socks, what are the odds of having a matched pair of any
colour? Assume that the Universe is impartial and doesn't care either
way that Bill is late for work again.

An old school dictionary falls open. Across a two page spread I can
find a thick corded ribbon; an alloy; a self righteous hypocrite; a love
potion; a discredited pseudo-science and an irregular black and white
pattern.
There is also a little word on that page that the PC lobby hopes
to bury. What is it?

Due to the well known phenomenon of parallel evolution the Rondulon
people of Quarn use a hexadecimal number notation identical to our own,
which is partly explained by their having eight digits on each hand.
Taxunoia was a lowly laboratory gimp given the task of observing a perplexing
artefact recently picked up on a fact finding and leg pulling expedition
to Earth. His task was to observe the two indicators on this primitive
terran device and note down the time at which both pointed in precisely
the same direction. Preliminary observations indicated that the device
could be a crude form of time measuring device. Taxunoia adjusted the
device until both indicators were pointing vertically straight up and
then he inserted the primitive power supply module. He wrote on his notepad
the time taken for the longer, faster indicator to reach the vertical
straight down position as 1D3 zongs. He had been ordered to observe and
note the time interval between eight consecutive alignments of the two
indicators. Sod that. He hadn't taken up science to wait around all day,
besides he had recently discovered a female with pseudopodia right up
to her tentacles who was anybody's for a couple of Gynan tunyx. He decided
to fake his results and get off down the pub.
Assuming he is smart enough to fake it accurately what should his results
show? Give the time of all eight alignments, give your answer in zongs.
