There are 7 people at a party Each person must shake hands with all the other people at the party once How many handshakes does it take to do this?
14 is incorrect Correct answer is 21* 7 persons in total, which means the first one will shake hands with 6 persons, the next in line will shake hands with 5 (given that he already shook hands with the first person). Calculation is: 6+5+4+3+2+1=21 *Applies to question if handshakes take place between new partners only, however in either case 14 can never be the answer.
