PROBLEM 164

The following was posed by N. Schwarzkopf as a companion problem to Problem 136.  

A diagonal in a convex polygon is a line joining two non-adjacent vertices.  Take an n-sided convex polygon and draw all possible diagonals.  Suppose that in doing so no three diagonals ever intersect at a common interior point.  How many different regions are the interior of the polygon?
