The problem was adapted from the 'Ice Cream Cake' problem in Peter Winkler's 'Mathematical Mind Benders' (p111 with solution on pp115-118), and via Stan Wagon's take on it in Gil Kalai's blog.  It's likely origin was as problem 31.2.8.3 in Olympiad 31 (1968) Moscow Mathematical Olympiads (p90).

SPOILER/SOLUTION:

The values of $f\left( \theta  \right)$ for $\left\{ {\theta |\theta  \in \mathbb{N},1 \le \theta  \le 360} \right\}$ can be generated thus:

$$\begin{array}{l}Let\;k = \left\lceil {\frac{{360}}{\theta }} \right\rceil \\\\f\left( \theta  \right) = 2k\;for\;\left\{ {k|k = \frac{{360}}{\theta },1 \le \theta  \le 360} \right\}\\\\f\left( \theta  \right) = 2k\left( {k - 1} \right){\rm{ for }}\left\{ {k|k \ne \frac{{360}}{\theta },1 \le \theta  \le 360} \right\}\end{array}$$
Giving $f\left( {181^\circ } \right) = 4$ and $f\left( \theta  \right)$ for all $\left\{ {\theta |\theta  \in \mathbb{N},1 \le \theta  \le 360} \right\}$:
