problem

There are 20222022 equally spaced points on a circular track γ\gamma of circumference 20222022. The points are labeled A1,A2,,A2022A_1, A_2, \ldots, A_{2022} in some order, each label used once. Initially, Bunbun the Bunny begins at A1A_1. She hops along γ\gamma from A1A_1 to A2A_2, then from A2A_2 to A3A_3, until she reaches A2022A_{2022}, after which she hops back to A1A_1. When hopping from PP to QQ, she always hops along the shorter of the two arcs PQ^\widehat{PQ} of γ\gamma; if PQ¯\overline{PQ} is a diameter of γ\gamma, she moves along either semicircle. Determine the maximal possible sum of the lengths of the 20222022 arcs which Bunbun traveled, over all possible labellings of the 20222022 points. [i]Kevin Cong[/i]
Plain-text mathematical notation (without MathML)
There are 2022 equally spaced points on a circular track γ of circumference 2022. The points are labeled A₁,A₂,…,A₂₀₂₂ in some order, each label used once. Initially, Bunbun the Bunny begins at A₁. She hops along γ from A₁ to A₂, then from A₂ to A₃, until she reaches A₂₀₂₂, after which she hops back to A₁. When hopping from P to Q, she always hops along the shorter of the two arcs (PQ)^ of γ; if (PQ)¯ is a diameter of γ, she moves along either semicircle.

Determine the maximal possible sum of the lengths of the 2022 arcs which Bunbun traveled, over all possible labellings of the 2022 points.

Original LaTeX notation
There are $2022$ equally spaced points on a circular track $\gamma$ of circumference $2022$. The points are labeled $A_1, A_2, \ldots, A_{2022}$ in some order, each label used once. Initially, Bunbun the Bunny begins at $A_1$. She hops along $\gamma$ from $A_1$ to $A_2$, then from $A_2$ to $A_3$, until she reaches $A_{2022}$, after which she hops back to $A_1$. When hopping from $P$ to $Q$, she always hops along the shorter of the two arcs $\widehat{PQ}$ of $\gamma$; if $\overline{PQ}$ is a diameter of $\gamma$, she moves along either semicircle.

Determine the maximal possible sum of the lengths of the $2022$ arcs which Bunbun traveled, over all possible labellings of the $2022$ points.
