He only wears odd socks because he says it is a waste of time matching them.

Try this (variation of a very old) one on him then.
"If you have 10 red socks and 10 blue socks in a drawer, without looking, how many do you have to take out to guarantee you have a unmatched pair?"

11 - or 2 if you are colourblind.

unmatched pair
3 could be red, red, red ie no
unmatched
pair. so 3 to get a matched pair and 11 to get an odd pair - yet wearing odd is easier!

Actually, it's not 2 if you're colour/color blind. You'd take all 20 out and you still wouldn't find an unmatched pair. [
