Please explain in detail. Thanks! Answer by 6567891151(12) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! it's H because it asked what is the smallest amount of cards you need to remove to be able to have two of the same color. Well if you pick three cards you would have at least one of each color and if you pick one more than you would have two two of the same color. I hope i get it.
