Question 11
Question 11 :
He then enters a mushroom market. In the market, whenever two people greet each other, they have to swap their mushrooms. There are 64 people present in the Market.In order to save time, each pair of people is only allowed to greet each other atmost once. After a lot of greetings, Mario notices that it is no longer possible to return all mushrooms to their respective owners through more greetings. To sensibly resolve this maddening confusion, he decides to bring in even more people (with more mushrooms), to allow for even more greetings and mushroom swappings. How many extra people are needed to return all mushrooms (including the extra ones) to their rightful owners?
Assume a person has exactly one mushroom.
