It's not so difficult to find a solution for 35 35 .

Suppose 36 36 is still possible. If the polygon has k k number of sides, then the sum of its angles is ( k 2 ) × 180 ° (k-2)\times 180° . From that ( k 2 ) × 180 ° < 36 × 170 ° + ( k 36 ) × 180 ° 34 × 180 ° < 36 × 170 ° (k-2)\times 180° < 36\times 170° + (k-36)\times 180° \\ \Rightarrow 34\times 180°<36\times 170° which is definitely false.

Therefore the answer is 35 \boxed{35} .
