That's plain and simply wrong. It will take at least 10 seconds, in practice much, much longer, before the last ball starts to move. The reason it takes longer is that the pressure will move through the system at the speed of sound, not the speed of light. The speed of sound in a metal is pretty high, but it's much less than the speed of light.
