It is also a joking problem.

The number of diagonals of a regular polygon can not be 56.
There is no such a polygon.
Such a polygon does not exist.

    Hint: the number of diagonals of a convex n-gon is   .
              Try to find a convex polygon with 56 diagonals.
              Or, which is the same, try to find such whole number n that    = .

I just do not pay attention that the number of diagonals in the condition is measured in inches.
Hahaha.

Thank you for this joking problem :)
