I was attempting to solve the following question:
In a circle you have a $27$ sided regular polygon and a $297$ sided polygon $($all vertices are on the circle$).$ How many common points do they share?
I thought that $n\choose r$ would be helpful but I don't have any idea about how to use it.
HINT: Both polygons consist of straight line segments (the edges), and both are convex. Hence each edge of the one polygon intersects at most two edges of the other polygon. (Prove this!)
