Hi All,

As most of us are home quarantined and may not have enough chance to pump our brain muscles, herein I am introducing a brainstorming session, Puzzle Series. Just a bit refreshment within the current boring situation, with a lot of thinking possibilities.

Rule of the games: Don't give just an answer but also an explanation. Whoever gives the complete and right answer, include another puzzle from your side.

Puzzle1. Shake-hand Solution

You along with your partner and four other couples were attending a party. After the initial Hi-Hallo session each of you started handshaking with others, a bit casually though. Which means everyone did not handshake with every other person at the party. Moreover, none did a handshake with his/her own partner. At the end of the party, you asked who did how many handshakes? Interestingly, each of the 9 persons had different answers. Now my questions are

1. What are the 9 different answers from 9 persons?

2. How many handshakes your partner had?
