Video Summary

Simon needs to pick a minimum of 13 pieces of fruit from the bag to ensure he has at least one apple and one pear of the same color. This accounts for the worst-case scenario where he picks all 7 green pears and 5 yellow apples first, which doesn't satisfy the condition. On his 13th pick, he will get either a green apple or a yellow pear, ensuring he has both an apple and a pear of the same color.
