There is a party with five couples. There is much handshaking at the beginning of the party. No one shakes hand with their own partner, and no one shakes hands twice with the same person.
Later, the host, Martin, asks everyone how many times they shook hands. All of the other nine people remembered exactly how many times, and answered him. Each of the nine answers was a different number!
How many handshakes did Martin himself have at the party?
