in thread How many different varieties (color, size, etc) of socks do you have in your sock drawer?

That code makes no sense. LIKE without a wildcard means equals, so the two conditions cancel each other out. Unless sock means color, in which case it would at best tell you what you have a set of. But for that, it would be much clearer to write:

SELECT sock FROM socks GROUP BY sock HAVING COUNT(*) > 1 LIMIT 1;

Of course, that completely ignores ids (which sock) and the state of the sock. At the very least, you ought to check for State = 'Washed' or MIN(Times_Worn).
