Solution:
Using the “Problem Solving Process.
”The Handshake Problem #1”

  1. Understand the problem
    1. What data or information is known?

    20 people
    Shake hands with everyone.
    N= #people

    1. What data or information is unknown?

    How many hands will I shake if 20 people in the room.

    1. What are the conditions?

    n>0

  2. Make a Plan to solve the problem – (This is known as an Algorithm!)

    n-1=Hands Shaken

  3. Carry out the plan.

    20-1=19

  4. Reflect on how the problem was solved.

    It should work with all group sizes
