The primary assumption is that your murder mystery dinner can be modeled as an undirected graph -- and not a directed graph. You should explain why it's the earlier and not the latter. (That is, if it's a directed graph, than n(n-1)/2 isn't true -- for the conditions you've described.)
Loved this note, Manil. Sounds like a great party and I'd be willing to be killed (fictionally) to eat that dinner. If you're willing to share your recipe for the chicken, Ms. Christel would appreciate it.

A convent would be a good place for a murder, and you could dress up as nuns. Manil could be Mother Superior.....
I love this, Clint! We'll do it next time you're in town - and I'll be sure to bring an extra nun's habit for you.
I want full-on Sally Field in the Flying Nun.
To all who read this post I can testify to the greatness of the chicken recipe aka Coq au Dagger.
Also, mathematicians are not natural murderers I agree, but lit agents surely are......
Nicole's my literary agent, and now you know whom to investigate if I disappear because I'm not writing books fast enough.
