We consider the nn vertices of a regular polygon with nn sides. There is a set of triangles with vertices at these nn points with the property that for each triangle in the set, the sides of at least one are not the side of any other triangle in the set. What is the largest amount of triangles that can have the set?

Se tiene un conjunto de triángulos con vértices en estos n puntos con la propiedad que para cada triángulo del conjunto, al menos uno de sus lados no es lado de ningún otro triángulo del conjunto. ¿Cuál es la mayor cantidad de triángulos que puede tener el conjunto?

There is a board with three rows and 20192019 columns. In the first row are written the numbers integers from 11 to 20192019 inclusive, ordered from smallest to largest. In the second row, AnaAna writes those same numbers but ordered at your choice. In each box in the third row write the difference between the two numbers already written in the same column (the largest minus the smallest). BetoBeto have to paint some numbers in the third row so that the sum of the numbers painted is equal to the sum of the numbers in that row that were left unpainted. Can AnaAna complete the second row so that BetoBeto does not achieve his goal?
