Irregular table read by rows: T(n,k) is the number of k-gons formed, k>=2, among all circles that can be constructed on vertices of an n-sided regular polygon, using only a compass.

Conjecture: the only value for n which leads to the creation of 2-gons is n = 2. Despite values for n mod 6 = 0 forming intersecting arcs at the center of the n-gon, these are cut by other circles and thus create 3-gons or 4-gons. This is in contrast to values of n mod 4 = 0 in A359009 which do lead to the creation of 2-gons at the center of the figure from similar arcs.
