Problem Statement
The vertices of a regular -gon are labeled in some order. It is known that if and leave the same remainder when divided by , then the chords and have no common points. Vasya walks around the polygon and sees that the first two vertices are labeled and . How is the tenth vertex labeled?Proposed by A. Golovanov
