#4, RE: Cutting a circle

I have, and I do not believe this is the same problem. For example, if you connect four points on the circle to each of the other points, you will draw six lines. This will give you only 8 regions. If you try to draw six lines across a circle, the maximum number of regions I believe you can get is 22.
