Greebo invited everyone to the annual h2iq party, she decided to shake hands/paws with everyone else who turned up, she also told everyone else to shake hands with each other. There were 11 people at the party, how many total handshakes were there?

If there were 11 people in total at party then I also agree with Demon Drawer.

I'll go for 65...
If everyone shakes hands with everyone else once that's 55 handshakes, but as Greebo has twice as many hands/paws as everyone else its only fair she gets twice as many handshakes.. 55+10=65
Worth a try!

Have you ever seen a cat shake two paws at anyone. No I thought not.

I didn't mean at the same time... 
That would be completely ridiculous, she'd just fall over...
Mind you, If it's a good party most of the people present should be falling over by the end of the evening
