So I wrote this two minutes ago
I will be happy if anyone bothers to solve ;D
Yes, this actually happened
Minus the me only shaking hands with the teams we won against, but I wanted to make it more complicated
Assume I didn't shake hands with anyone else before or after the competition
It's not that hard, just logic and simple math, but it's pretty tedious :P

On Saturday, Lark went to a science competition. There were 72 teams in total. For the first part, these 72 teams were divided into 12 groups (is that the even right word), and every team played every other team in their group. The top two teams from each group (based on games won) moved on to the elimination round. Lark's team won all but two of their games for that part, the first loss because they had been rudely woken up at 5 in the morning and were still sleep-deprived, and the second loss because they were playing against child prodigies. However, they still moved on to elimination. During elimination round, if you lost a game, you were out of the competition. Lark's team made it to 6th place, but they don't remember how many elimination rounds they played. There were 5 people (including captain) on each team, and Lark shook hands with every team member of the opposite team only after every round that they won, because they are a sore loser. However, during two instances, the other team's captains were busy signing the score sheet, and at one point, the other team's physics major was really sad that he lost to Lark's sheer awesomeness and didn't notice Lark clearing their throat repeatedly while extending a hand. How many people's hands did Lark shake that day?

Let's assume I didn't shake hands with anyone after that.

Lol, I'll solve it in the morning :P And then wait to see if anyone else went through the tediousness of sorting that out.
