The important information is that each child can high-five each child  ONCE.   Child 1 high-fives 4 children, the second can't high-five the first child because they have already done it, the Second child high-fives child 3, 4 and 5, the third high-fives child 4 and 5, etc.  We get 4+3+2+1

Hmmm.. There is no answer as it is infininte. For example, negative ten is lowe number after one that begins with the last letter of the number preceding it (on the number scale). And they keep going lower than that for negative infinite. If they wanted te next positive number after one, then they should have said that, or at least said "the lowest number above one..." 

 

Nice trick question.

To an average Joe sitinng in a TV studio audience with thirty seconds to answer wouldn't overthink it to that degree. It says "after ONE". Most people would think positive numbers, one two three etc. 

 

It's not hard. The answer is Nineteen, follows eighteeN. You could do it on your fingers.

Yes, I understand that...  These are more designed to test how you act under pressure... The problem is I read the lowest and immediately thought imposiible.. Double checked the question text, figured they meant above, but, hey, it's fun to find the real answer to the question.
