CAYLEY 2003 Problem 25

\angle{BAC} is said to be “laceable” if distinct points X_1,X_2,\dots,X_{2n} can be found so that

  • X_{2k-1} is on AC for each value of k,
  • X_{2k} is on AB for each value of k, and
  • X_1=X_1X_2=X_2X_3=\cdots=X_{2n−1}X_{2n}=X_{2n}A.

For example, the angle 20^\circ is laceable, as shown. The number of laceable acute angles, whose sizes in degrees are integers, is
