If that happens you have to times ninexten and the answer would be 90 handshakes
Everyone shakes hands with 4 other people. Since there are 5 people in the room this would suggest there are 5*4 = 20 handshakes. However, you would then be double counting handshakes: A shaking hands with B and B shaking hands with A is, in reality, only one handshake. Thus there are 5*4/2 = 10 handshakes in all.

there would be 26 handshakes if they were all done at once
The first guy shakes hands with 6 other people. The next guy has already shaken the first one's hand, so she has only 5 other people to handshake & so on down to the last two people with a single handshake. All together there are 6 + 5 + 4 + 3 + 2 + 1 = 21 handshakes
