THE PUZZLE:

Bob's Dinner

Hattie Caulfield is a member of the Cool School Food Chef's Society.  She and nine other chefs meet monthly to discuss menu items for schools throughout the Pikes Peak region.  When they meet they perform a secret handshake.  Each member must shake hands with every other member two times and only two times.  When this is completed they can get down to business.  If each exotic shake takes fifteen seconds (disregard the elapsed time between shakes), how much time, in minutes is taken up just shaking hands?


KNOW THE SOLUTION?
If you want to answer the the Math Fun question, you need to email me and include your answer and a short explanation of how you arrived at your answer.  If both conditions are met and the problem is answered correctly you will be entered in that month's drawing.  
  
THE PRIZE:
   

Each month, on the fourteenth, a new Math Fun problem will be given.  I apologize, but for the sake of logistics, each month you must submit anew to be entered in that month's drawing.
