Gnomes are only rarely involved with missing laundry socks.

One way is when they hide in a laundry basket and get transferred to the washer. Those "stubborn stains that don't come out" are actually gnome smudges. The gnome must wait to the brief moment when the water is draining (but before the spin cycle!) to lift the lid and escape.

The other way is when pursued by a housedog and they throw a distraction sock in one direction while fleeing in the other.

The left-right #sock #QuantumEntaglement effect is unstable in the presence of a top-bottom spin field. This is, of course, why a sock may sometimes disappear entirely from the washing machine during the spin cycle, having annihilated somewhere between 1500 and 1680 rpm. The signature squealing pop of the event is a difficult signal to detect in the overwhelming motor noise without the use of sensitive lab equipment. Or a #cat.
