We shall use the term n-configuration for the complete graph having n vertices, which we visualize as a regular convex polygon. The sides and diagonals will be referred to as edges. A complete sub-configuration of p vertices (subset of p vertices with all interconnecting edges) will be called a p-tuple. A 3-tuple will be called a triple or triangle, a 4-tuple a quadruple, etc.
