Hey Galactica, what is the number of intersections between the chords of a regular polygon?

Umm, no. It’s Binomial(n,4) plus correction terms for degenerate points. So you haven’t read Poonen and Rubinstein’s 1997 paper, or even Wikipedia on the Moser Circle Problem?

Of course n(n-3)/2 is the number of chords of a regular n-gon, so it’s not *completely irrelevant* to the question.

So, 10/10 for finding a formula statistically associated with some of the words in the question, but 0/10 for comprehension.
