In Euclidean Geometry, two non-coplanar lines are two lines in 3-dimensional space for which no single plane contains allpoints in both lines. For any two lines in three dimensional space, there is always at least one plane that contains all points in one line and at least one point in the other line. But there is not always (in fact it's quite rare) that any plane will contain all points in both lines. When it happens, there is only one such plane for any two distinct lines. Note that, any two lines in 3-dimensional space that intersect each other mustbe coplanar. Also, any two lines in 3-dimensional space that are parallel to each other must also be coplanar. So, in order to be non-coplanar, two lines in 3-dimensional space must a) not intersect each other at any point, and b) not be parallel to each other. (As it turns out, this dual condition is not only necessary, but sufficient for non-coplanarity.) Also note that, as a test for coplanarity of two lines, you need only test two points on each line, for a total of four points, because all points on a single line are, by definition, on the same plane. In fact, all you really have to do is test a single point on one line against three other points (one on the same line and two on the other line), because, by definition, any three points in 3-dimensional space are on the same plane. For example, consider any two distinct points on line m (A and B), and any two distinct points on line l (C and D). Points A and B are obviously coplanar because they are colinear (in fact, they are coplanar in the infinite number of planes that contain this line). Point C on line l is also coplanar with points A and B, because by definition, any 3 non-colinear points in 3-dimensional space define a plane (however, if point C is not on line m, the number of planes that contain all three points is immediately reduced from infinity to one). So the coplanarity test for the first three points is trivial - they are coplanar no matter what. However, it is not at all certain that point D will be on the same plane as points A, B, and C. In fact, for any two random lines in 3-dimensional space, the probability that the four points (two on each line) are coplanar is inifinitesimally small. But, if the fourth point, the one not used to define the plane, is nevertheless coplanar with the three points that define the plane, then lines l and m are coplanar. Note that, though I specified that points A and B on line m must be distinct, and that points C and D on line l must be distinct, I did not specify that C and D must both be distinct from both A and B. That is because, if, for example, A and C are the same (not distinct) point, then, obviously, lines m and l intersect, at point A, which is the same as point C. If this is the case, then the question of whether D is on the same plane as A, B, and C is trivial, because you really only have 3 distinct points, and any three distinct points alwaysshare a plane. That is why intersecting lines (lines that share a single point) are always coplanar. But you're asking about non-coplanar lines. So, basically, if any point on either of the two lines is not coplanar with the other three points (one on the same line and two on the other line), then the lines are non-coplanar.

Not sure what you mean by "missed" but the answer is 0.

Not necessarily. Imagine yourself inside a cuboid room. Consider the following three lines: (A) The horizontal line joining the far wall and the floor. (B) The horizontal line joining the wall on your left and the ceiling. and (C) The vertical line joining the far wall and the wall on your left. The line C may be considered a transversal to the other two. These are both parallel but they are not coplanar. Their planes are both horizontal but Line A is in a low plane while B is in a high plane.
