Problem Statement

Given an integer n3n \ge 3. Find the largest positive integer kk with the following property: For nn points in general position, there exists kk ways to draw a non-intersecting polygon with those nn points as it’s vertices.
[hide=Different wording]Given nn, find the maximum kk so that for every general position of nn points , there are at least kk ways of connecting the points to form a polygon.
