:: Ball Problem ::

A bag contains a total of N balls with either blue or red colour. If five balls are randomly chosen from the bag, the probability is precisely 1/2 that all five balls are blue. What's the smallest value of N for which this is possible? (Hint: Use different number of blue/red balls to get to the answer?)
