    Discrete math problem college level question

    Hello does anyone have a faster way using probability to solve this problem? Counting it out would be difficult. I know however, that the pattern has been S_1 = 1 S_2 = 2 S_3 = 4 etc...

    I guess with that patter then the number of possible shaking hand arrangements = n. I guess I need to ask my professor to clarify the question if all people are shaking.

    I do not know how to procede. The question is unclear to me. For S_4 is the answer 4 ways? Thanks.

    Suppose 2n people sit on a round table and are shaking hands in pairs. Suppose that etiquette is observed and no 2 shakes cross. Let S_n be the number of possible shaking hands arrangements of this sort. Determine S_10.
