The numbering exception is designed to allow K to have all sorts of different numbers on the line. A normal scrimmage down would require them to have 5 guys numbered 50-79 on the line. I assume they were in a scrimmage kick formation here.
So, anyway, illegal touching against K. Enforcment spot is the 15. 5 yard penalty back to the 10. Loss of down. B/R's ball at A/K's 10. ist and 10.

I was thinking on those terms at first because this is a new rule this year. What threw me off was the fact that the question specifies K56 is a back. I should have went with my gut, thanks for the explanation.
