Im not sure how to algebraically explain this situation, but i can explain the answer.

So you have four friends:
1 2 3 4 that want to jump on a trampoline.

They want to jump in pairs and each single friend wants to jump with the three other friends.  Here is how it works

|                       Friends                         |
--------------------------------------------
|      1      |      2      |      3      |      4      |
      1:2          2:3          3:4
      1:3          2:4                 
      1:4  

So as you can see, if you add up all the groups there are 6 different possible combinations for the 4 friends to pair up and jump 2 at a time.  So your answer is that it would take 6 turns.
