Problem Statement

Suppose there are nn points in a plane no three of which are collinear with the property that if we label these points as A1,A2,,AnA_1,A_2,\ldots,A_n in any way whatsoever, the broken line A1A2AnA_1A_2\ldots A_n does not intersect itself. Find the maximum value of nn. Dinu Serbanescu, Romania
