The outline of the ring is flattering at the beginning and the end

Two things:

1. 90 X 5 is wrong.  There are 360 degrees in a circle so just use a constant (360), or 90 X 4.
2. Don't flatten the output of 'Flip' before 'IntCrv'.

Or maybe this is what you had in mind?

This is exactly what we wanted!

Thank you for telling me early!!

It was very helpful to let me know precisely.

Since I am still a beginner, I would be pleased if you could give me an opportunity to teach again. ^^

Well, as I though more about it, I realized that it makes perfect sense to rotate in increments of 360/N where "N" is the number of sides in the polygon.  Increments could be 120, 90, 72, 60, etc.  Like this:

The polygon vertices are aligned at beginning and end for these values and you want the flattened list of points to generate a continuous curve - EXCEPT when 'pSegs' X 'incr' = 360.  In that case, one continuous edge curve isn't possible.

Möbius strip logic! Not so simple.  I can do it "manually" for any given case but don't have a general purpose solution - yet.

OK, sorry, bad advice.  I believe I understand now what you mean.  Working on it...
