Problem Statement

Find all integers nn greater than or equal to 44 that satisfy the following conditions:
[*] Take an arbitrary convex nn-gon PP on the coordinate plane whose vertices are lattice points (points whose coordinates are both integers). There are a total of nn triangles that share two sides with PP. Let S1,S2,,SnS_1, S_2, \ldots, S_n be their areas, and let SS be the area of PP. Then, the greatest common divisor of 2S1,2S2,,2Sn2S_1, 2S_2, \ldots, 2S_n divides the integer 2S2S.
