12 people
The first one will shake hands with 11people. The second one will shake hands with 10 people but not 11 because he had already shaken hands with the first person when the first person was shaking hands. So on the third will do 9 just like that. 11+10+9+8+7+6+5+4+3+2+1. =66 handshakes

Urgian: 9 going 10
Urgian: And you?
