Is it possible to make a computer network of 75 computers

Question

I've got an exam coming up and I'm preparing some stuff w/o literature so it's quite hard to solve some exercises..

The question is:

Is it possible to make a computer network of 75 computers so that each computer is connected directly with 15 other computers? Explain.

I've thought of pigeonhole principle, but caught in a loophole.

Started off as 75 pigeons / 14 holes = maximum with 5 connections, not 15.

Thanks!

Answer 1

Let's try to count the number of connections between computers. If we will multiply 75 by 15 then we will count every connection twice so number of connections is 75 times 15 divided by 2 which is equal to 562,5. So we get number of connections which is not an integer so we can't get such a network. So the answer is no.
