For a tournament with $8$ vertices, if from any vertex it is impossible to follow a route to return to itself, we call the graph a [i]good[/i] graph. Otherwise, we call it a [i]bad[/i] graph. Prove that $(1)$ there exists a tournament with $8$ vertices such that after changing the orientation of any at most $7$ edges of the tournament, the graph is always a[i]bad[/i] graph; $(2)$ for any tournament with $8$ vertices, one can change the orientation of at most $8$ edges of the tournament to get a [i]good[/i] graph.
