There are 2023 points on the plane. Prove that there exists a circle that contains 2000 points inside it and leaves the remaining 23 outside. For example, if we had 5 points on the plane, we could find a circle that contains 4 of them inside and leaves 1 outside. Similarly, for 10 points, there exists a circle that contains 7 inside and leaves 3 outside. This reasoning extends to 2023 points, ensuring that such a division is always possible.

Edward starts in his house, which is at (0,0) and needs to go point (6,4), which is coordinate for his school. However, there is a park that shaped as a square and has coordinates (2,1),(2,3),(4,1), and (4,3). There is no road for him to walk inside the park but there is a road for him to walk around the perimeter of the square. How many different shortest road routes are there from Edward's house to his school?
