Since min(S). max(S) < 0, we must have min(S) = –a and max(S) = b for some positive integers a and b. Given a and b, there are |S|2=ab2 elements left to choose, which must come from the set  {a+1,a+2.........,b2,b1}, which has size a+b–1. Therefore, the number of possibilities for a given a, b are (a+b1ab2).
In particular, we must have ab2a+b1(a1)(b1)2. The possibilities for (a, b) to (1, n) and (n, 1) for positive integers 2n11 (n = 1 case is impossible), and three extra possibilities: (2,2), (2,3), and 3, 2). In the first case, the number of possible sets is
2((20)+(31)+......+(108)+(119))=2((22)+(32)+.....+(112))=2(123)=440 
In the second case, the number of possible sets is
(32)+(44)+(44)=5
Thus, there are 445 sets in total.
