hmm, interesting Q

a ball is a sphere, therefore it could hv a ball in the middle and that ball is surrounded by other balls .... the middle layer would hv maximum balls, say n number of balls and then the next layers on its two sides would be n-1, something like the equation below:

...., n-2, n-1, n, n-1, n-2, ....

so when you take, n = 10 ... the equation gets solved
