12 blue socks in 48 pulls....

Gee Subhotosh, don't you know nothing about socks?
That clearly means the sock puller has rough/corny heels,
causing socks to rip 75% of the time; so above clearly
means that unless the sock puller gets a pedicure,
he has to buy 4 pairs of socks in order to end up
with an unripped pair; OK? You're welcome.
