At a party, everyone shook hands with everybody else. There were 66 handshakes. How many people were at the party?
12 (because in general, with n+1 people, the number of handshakes is the sum of the first n consecutive numbers: 1+2+3+ ... + n. Since this sum is n(n+1)/2, we need to solve the equation n(n+1)/2 = 66. This is the quadratic equation n2+ n -132 = 0. Solving for n, we have n=11 (chosen) and n=-12 (not possible). That means there are 11+1=12 people at the party.)
