we have unlimited attempts

My take on this is to write an equation joining (6,325) and (12, 525).

That equation will predict the number y of balls in a given lot where x is the number of defective balls.

y = (100/3) x + 125

775 = (100/3) x + 125

x = 39/2 = 19.5 balls which is 20 (approx)

I hope somebody comes by and checks this.
