EXAMPLE
a(3) = 1 since the equilateral triangle has no diagonals and therefore one exterior region (with infinite area).
a(4) = 4 since the two diagonals of the square divide the exterior in four regions (with infinite area).
a(5) = 10 since the ten diagonals of the regular pentagon divide the exterior in ten regions (with infinite area) of two different shapes.
