We call polynomial $S(x)\in\mathbb{R}[x]$ sadeh whenever it's divisible by $x$ but not divisible by $x^2$. For the polynomial $P(x)\in\mathbb{R}[x]$ we know that there exists a sadeh polynomial $Q(x)$ such that $P(Q(x))-Q(2x)$ is divisible by $x^2$. Prove that there exists sadeh polynomial $R(x)$ such that $P(R(x))-R(2x)$ is divisible by $x^{1401}$.

Maria has a $6 \times 5$ board with some shaded squares, as in the figure. She writes, in some order, the digits $1, 2, 3, 4$ and $5$ in the first row and then completes the board as follows: look at the number written in the shaded box and write the number that occupies the position indicated by the box shaded as the last number in the next row, and repeat the other numbers in the first four squares, following the same order as in the previous row. For example, if you wrote $2, 3, 4, 1, 5$ in the first row, then since $4$ is in the shaded box, the number that occupies the fourth place $(1)$ is written in the last box of the second row and completes it with the remaining numbers in the order in which. They were. She remains: $2, 3, 4, 5, 1$. Then, to complete the third row, as in the shaded box is $3$, the number located in the third place $(4)$ writes it in the last box and gets $2, 3, 5, 1, 4$. Following in the same way, he gets the board of the figure. Show a way to locate the numbers in the first row to get the numbers $2, 4, 5, 1, 3$ in the last row.

MO Space City plans to construct $n$ space stations, with a unidirectional pipeline connecting every pair of stations. A station directly reachable from station P without passing through any other station is called a directly reachable station of P. The number of stations jointly directly reachable by the station pair $\{P, Q\}$ is to be examined. The plan requires that all station pairs have the same number of jointly directly reachable stations. (1) Calculate the number of unidirectional cyclic triangles in the space city constructed according to this requirement. (If there are unidirectional pipelines among three space stations A, B, C forming $A \rightarrow B \rightarrow C \rightarrow A$, then triangle ABC is called a unidirectional cyclic triangle.) (2) Can a space city with $n$ stations meeting the above planning requirements be constructed for infinitely many integers $n \geq 3$?
