Problem
Find all values of for which there exists a convex cyclic non-regular polygon with vertices such that the measures of all its internal angles are equal.

Solution
Let be a convex cyclic non-regular polygon with the measures of all its internal angles equal and let be its circumcenter. Because all the angles are equal, all the arcs , for , have the same length. Hence, , for all , since the polygon is convex.
Let . We have If is an odd integer, This means that the polygon is regular, which contradicts the hypothesis.
If is even, any value of with and defines a unique non-regular such polygon.
Therefore, the possible values of are all even positive integers .
Let . We have If is an odd integer, This means that the polygon is regular, which contradicts the hypothesis.
If is even, any value of with and defines a unique non-regular such polygon.
Therefore, the possible values of are all even positive integers .
Final answer
All even integers at least 4
