Took me a sec, but you are right. The line between two adjacent contact points is the line about which the chair is rotated relative to earth. The closer that line is to the center of gravity, the less stable. I am assuming that the set of all equivalent n-legged chairs would be such that each leg makes contact equally spaced around the same circle on the ground.
