First I thought “each line of the figure above” is a very very vague phrase. Because I can say that the figure has 13, 14 or 15 lines. But then I thought, come on, it says least number of marbles and even takes the trouble of underlining that word- that must mean something. Okay, so then I tried to reduce the number of lines in the figure to the fewest possible, because the fewer the lines, the fewer the marbles required. I got 5 lines. Great. Then I placed imaginary marbles into an imaginary figure and came up with something like sanningen’s drawing and got “10.”
