Doesn't seem to work.

Conditions 1 and 2 imply that each person could shake hands with at most 8 people. That leaves 9 unique combinations (8 to 0). So there would have to be a duplicate to cover all 10 people, wouldn't there? Then there's the problem of figuring out which one is the wife of the LAN administrator. Unless we accept that it's impossible for a LAN administrator to be married. ;-) Cheers, Scott.

Read the terms carefully and then return to your truth table. cordially, Die Welt ist alles, was der Fall ist.

I'm too tired to figure it out from there, though. Regards, -scott anderson "Welcome to Rivendell, Mr. Anderson..."
