Canada Math Contest #2 - Problem 2


Full credit goes to the staff team at Canada Math for authoring these problems.

Two identical equilateral triangles perfectly overlap. One of them is rotated 180180^\circ, creating a 66-point star. Similarly, two regular pentagons perfectly overlap, one of which is rotated 180180^\circ, creating a 1010-point star. What is the difference, in degrees, between the largest interior angle of the 66-point star and the smallest interior angle of the 1010-point star?
