People shake with their right hands because, in the olden days, adults had guns and knifes in their right pockets, so, their right hand can quickly pull the weapon out and shoot a bullet or stab them. The reason the law has changed because, we do not want more English people dying so we changed to right hand.

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?

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.
