What's the answer?




Let's say 7 people met each other.

Each of these 7 people decide to shake hands only ONE time with each of the other 7 people.

Just how many handshakes occured between these 7 people, in totality?


Discuss.

Person A shakes the other 6 people
Person B shakes the remaining 5 people
Person C shakes the remaining 4 people
...
Person F shakes person G

6+5+4+3+2+1=21

Nothing left to discuss. Nice try at a 500 topic.

This needs correcting before there can be a valid solution.
If there are 7 people in total, the answer is 21.
If there are 8 people in total ("seven other people"), the answer is 28

Guys you cant expect TC to be responsible for some dumbass bullshit someone else posted on the internet. He cant be expected to proofread the shit he plagiarizes.

Now answer the fucking question!

The only way this is a first grade test is if it's an extra credit problem the teacher puts in to see who the smart people are in their class. You aren't expected to get it because you haven't quite learned how to do it yet.
