    That’s based on the assumption that the two angles in the middle add up to 180, which can’t be assumed by inspection alone as demonstrated by the visibly square 80° angle

      No, you should completely ignore the bottom half of the center line. You end up with a shape with four turns. Those four internal angles always add to 360.

        He is saying your shape might have 5 turns instead of 4 if the bottom line is not actually a line. Though if that was the case, the problem would not be solvable, so I doubt it.
