The Red Goat has 10 friends and 34 marbles.

What is the minimum number of additional marbles she needs so that she can give each friend at least one marble and no two friends receive the same number of marbles?

(the answer is not 87)

16 additional marbles for a total of 50.

ETA: Guy after me gets it, I think.  Should be 21/55.

21

Or is this a trick question because the Red Goat doesn't have that many friends?
