Heres on:
In a room there is an X number of people. Each person in the room shakes everyone else's hand once. A total of 28 handshakes take place. How many people are in the room?

Space passes? Uhm...

7, as it's x=n(n+1)/2 where x is the number of handshakes and n is the number of people. 28=(7x7)/2 + 7/2= 24.5 + 3.5
