    Another clue for you. The handshake cannot be repeated. That means, if you have shaken hands with this person, that person cannot shake hands with you again. Hope this is clearer. :-) You may still change your answer before I post the answer this weekend.

    My answer is 20 because if there are 5 people in a classroom each person will handshake 4 times so the solution to this problem is 4x5=20
