Texas Instruments: Numb3 Rs: Shaken, Not Stirred

Curated by ACT

Based off of the hit television show NUMB3RS, this lesson extends upon the classic Handshake Problem (in which everyone at a party shakes hands with everyone else -- how many handshakes were there?) by not allowing guests to shakes hands with their partners. The lesson runs through the problem rather briefly, using graph theory to solve the question: How many handshakes were there?
