    Five kids are in bare foot.
    Because 3 kids are wearing both, 1 kid is wearing only shoe and 3 kids are wearing only socks, so that makes 3 + 3 +1=7 kids, wearing either shoe or socks.
    Hence 12-7= 5 kids barefooted
    Anything dropped on the floor will roll over to the most inaccessible corner.
