Of course it was closed as unconstructive.
How about five lines? One hand, one statement per finger, if you need that.
Pointer finger: demonstrably state the input instruction/line
Middle / Ring / Pinky: demonstrably process the input
Thumb: demonstrably output or return (ok, if you really need to do some processing here in the return...)
Line count doesn't include basic stuff like function bodies, class overhead, imports, etc.

Also, state language, environment/os/libraries needed.
If your "line" is longer than, oh, 120 characters, then is that really a line? As in, if you are a master of obfuscated C/C++, please, just don't...
APL is also cheating.
Heavy UNIX commands... well, I guess everything is relative...
People: readable five lines of code that perform a useful, adaptable, extendable purpose.
