Problem
Define a regular -pointed star to be the union of
line segments
such that
- the points
are coplanar and no three of them are collinear,
- each of the
line segments intersects at least one of the other line segments at a point other than an endpoint,
- all of the angles at
are congruent,
- all of the
line segments
are congruent, and
- the path
turns counterclockwise at an angle of less than 180 degrees at each vertex.
There are no regular 3-pointed, 4-pointed, or 6-pointed stars. All regular 5-pointed stars are similar, but there are two non-similar regular 7-pointed stars. How many non-similar regular 1000-pointed stars are there?
