Problem Statement

Csongi bought a 1212-sided convex polygon-shaped pizza. The pizza has no interior point with three or more distinct diagonals passing through it. Áron wants to cut the pizza along 33 diagonals so that exactly 66 pieces of pizza are created. In how many ways can he do this? Two ways of slicing are different if one of them has a cut line that the other does not have.
