Could use some help with this:

Karen and Diane are having an argument.  They both know that a gumball machine is loaded with gumballs of 6 different colors. Karen feels lucky.  She thinks she can get each color by using only 6 pennies.  Diane feels it will take at least 15.  Let's assume that the machine is loaded with an equal number of each color.  How many pennies do you think are needed to get one of each color?  Do you agree with either Karen or Diane?
