since each hand has 10 fingers ( we assume that all the people have all their fingers) and each person has 2 hands, 10/2 is the ratio of fingers to hands. this is 5 to 1

The total number of handshakes that occur when each of seven persons shakes hands with each of the other six persons can be calculated using the combination formula. The formula for calculating the number of combinations of n items taken r at a time is nCr = n! / (r!(n-r)!). In this case, n = 7 and r = 2 (since each handshake involves 2 people), so the total number of handshakes is 7C2 = 7! / (2!(7-2)!) = 7! / (2!5!) = (7*6) / 2 = 21. Therefore, a total of 21 handshakes would occur in this scenario, not 42.
The answer is 21 handshakes because the first person shakes hands with the other 6 people. The second person shakes hands with 5 people because they already shook hands with the first person. The third person shakes hands with 4 people because they already shook hands with the first and second person. The fourth person shakes hands with 3 people because they already shook hands with the first, second, and third. The fifth person shakes hands with 2 people because they already shook hands with the first, second, third, and fourth person. The sixth person shakes hands with the seventh person because the rest have already shaken hands with them. The seventh person doesn't have anyone else to shake hands with. Therefore the answer is 21 handshakes.
8 Explanation: The general formula for the number of handshakes is n(n-1)/2 where we have n people shaking hands with n-1 other people. so 28=n(n-1)/2 or 56=n^2-n the solution to this comes from solving n^2-n-56=0 so this factors as (x-8)(x+7) and the answer is 8 To understand this formula think of a small number, like 3 people Each person can shake hands with 2 other people. Let us call the people A, B, and C AB mean A shakes hand with B But AB=BA since if A shakes hands with B then B certainly shakes hands with A But if we look at all the possibilities we have AB, BA,BC, CB, AC and CA, as we explained this double counts so we divide by 2. 3(3-1)/2=3 as expected from the explanation above.

For people with big hands consider getting a semi-pro Canon camcorder. They have a stronger feel and work well with bigger hands.
Yes.Ex. If you have 3 people holding up all 10 fingers, tell one of the people to put both of their hands down. You're soon left with 20 fingers.30 fingers- 10 fingers--------------20 fingers left
