Problem
Two quadrilaterals are drawn on the plane such that they share no sides. What is the maximum possible number of intersections of the boundaries of the two quadrilaterals?
Solution
We find that it is possible to construct the maximal 
points, where each side of one quadrilateral intersects all four sides of the other quadrilateral.

Solution 2
Take two concave quadrilaterals. Call two lines "somewhat parallel" if the different in their slopes is less than 
. An arrow has approximately 
lines which are "somewhat" parallel, which means 
arrows that are 
to each other form 
intersections.
