  69. Theorem (Arnold 1980) A 1 / 3 ≪ log N 2 ( A ) ≪ A 1 / 3 log A. lower bound: let P be the polytope from Example 1 or 2. ⇒| W | ≈ A 1 / 3 . Its vertex set W = For each subset U ⊂ W , conv U ∈ P 2 . there are 2 | W | ≈ 2 A 1 / 3 such subpolygons. Most of them distinct. for the upper bound we need: Lemma (Square lemma) For every P ∈ P 2 there is Q ∼ P which is contained in the square [ 0 , 36 A ] 2 . So each equivalence class is represented in this square. Proof follows from Andrews theorem + Square lemma
