Consider a 20-sided convex polygon K, with vertices A 1 , A 2 , . . . , A 20 A_1, A_2, . . . , A_{20} in that order. Find the number of ways in which three sides of K can be chosen so that every pair among them has at least two sides of K between them.

Clarification :

  1. For example ( A 1 A 2 , A 4 A 5 , A 11 A 12 ) (A_1 A_2, A_4 A_5, A_{11} A_{12}) is an admissible triple while ( A 1 A 2 , A 4 A 5 , A 19 A 20 ) (A_1 A_2, A_4 A_5, A_{19} A_{20}) is not.

  2. The language of the question is correct. The question is a modified form of one that appeared in CRMO 2011.


The answer is 520.
