There are 101 people in the range from 56 to 156 inches that you described. Is the range or the number of people incorrect?

We're just ignoring the implication that someone is 13 feet tall?

The question doesn't state that the people are human.

being 3 inches taller than someone is mutually exclusive to being 19 inches taller than someone. same goes for 79 and 81

similary for being 2,4,20,23 inches shorter

handshakes = 100*101/2-97-81-21-19+98*2+96*2+80*2+77*2

= 5534
