Problem Statement

Let A A and B B be the endpoints of a semicircular arc of radius 2 2. The arc is divided into seven congruent arcs by six equally spaced points C1,C2,,C6 C_1,C_2,\ldots,C_6. All chords of the form ACi \overline{AC_i} or BCi \overline{BC_i} are drawn. Let n n be the product of the lengths of these twelve chords. Find the remainder when n n is divided by 1000 1000.
