Problem Statement

Let SS be a set of 2n+12n+1 points in the plane such that no three are collinear and no four concyclic. A circle will be called Good\text{Good} if it has 3 points of SS on its circumference, n1n-1 points in its interior and n1n-1 points in its exterior. Prove that the number of good circles has the same parity as nn.
