It's 66.

n(n-1)/2
12(12-11)/2 = 66

Or you can just count it up. 1st guy shakes 11 hands. 2nd guy has already shaken 1 hand, so he shakes the other 10 hands. 3rd guy shakes 9 hands......

11+10+9+8+7+6+5+4+3+2+1 = 66

That's probably the best job description for what I do for a living that I've heard, actually.

I second that vote! My boss still hasn't answered with the price of the Hat.

Each time you shake a hand that's one less for the other person to shake.

you shake 11
next person shakes 10
9
8
7
6
5
4
3
2
1

not as elegant as the above equation, but one most everyone can understand.
