Hi;
Sorry, I could not meet the time, I was sleeping.
The smallest I can come up with is a bag containing 11 reds, 3 whites, 2 blues and 5 greens.

A bag has marbles of 4 colors: red, white, blue, and green. Assume that if we take four marbles out at random (without replacement), each of the following is equally likely:
(1) one marble of each color is chosen,
(2) one white, one blue, and two reds are chosen,
(3) one blue and three reds are chosen,
(4) all four are red.
What is the smallest possible number of marbles in the bag?
