problem

The vertices of a regular hexagon are labeled cos(θ),cos(2θ),…,cos(6θ)\cos (\theta), \cos (2 \theta), \ldots, \cos (6 \theta). For every pair of vertices, Bob draws a blue line through the vertices if one of these functions can be expressed as a polynomial function of the other (that holds for all real θ\theta ), and otherwise Roberta draws a red line through the vertices. In the resulting graph, how many triangles whose vertices lie on the hexagon have at least one red and at least one blue edge?

Original LaTeX notation
The vertices of a regular hexagon are labeled $\cos (\theta), \cos (2 \theta), \ldots, \cos (6 \theta)$. For every pair of vertices, Bob draws a blue line through the vertices if one of these functions can be expressed as a polynomial function of the other (that holds for all real $\theta$ ), and otherwise Roberta draws a red line through the vertices. In the resulting graph, how many triangles whose vertices lie on the hexagon have at least one red and at least one blue edge?
