There are $n$ points in the plane, no three of them collinear. Each day, Tom erases one of the points, until there are three points left. On the $i$-th day, for $1<i<n-3$, before erasing that day's point, Tom writes down the positive integer $v(i)$ such that the convex hull of the points at that moment has $v(i)$ vertices. Finally, he writes down $v(n-2) = 3$. Find the greatest possible value that the expression\n$$|v(1)-v(2)|+ |v(2)-v(3)| + \\ldots + |v(n-3)-v(n-2)|$$\ncan obtain among all possible initial configurations of $n$ points and all possible Tom's moves.\n\n## Instructions\n\nSolve the mathematical problem above and write your final answer to `/workspace/answer.txt`.\n\n**Important**: Write only your final answer to the file, not the full solution process.\n\n### Guidelines\n\n- Provide your final numerical answer or mathematical expression\n- Write the answer as plain text (no special formatting needed)\n- Be precise and clear in your answer\n- The answer should directly respond to what the problem asks for\n\n### Example\n\nIf the problem asks \"What is 2 + 2?\", your answer file should contain:\n\n```\n4\n```\n\nYour answer will be evaluated against the correct solution using an automated grading system.\n", "memory": "", "runnable": false, "difficulty": "hard", "language": "", "cpus": "", "instruction_truncated": false, "category": "math", "compose": false, "has_solution": true, "oracle": null, "docker_image": "", "taskset": "omnimath", "tags": ["omni-math"]}, "runs": []}
