Problem Statement

A plane contains 4040 lines, no 22 of which are parallel. Suppose there are 33 points where exactly 33 lines intersect, 44 points where exactly 44 lines intersect, 55 points where exactly 55 lines intersect, 66 points where exactly 66 lines intersect, and no points where more than 66 lines intersect. Find the number of points where exactly 22 lines intersect.
