Let $n$ be a positive with $n\geq 3$. Consider a board of $n \times n$ boxes. In each step taken the colors of the $5$ boxes that make up the figure bellow change color (black boxes change to white and white boxes change to black) The figure can be rotated $90°, 180°$ or $270°$. Firstly, all the boxes are white.Determine for what values of $n$ it can be achieved, through a series of steps, that all the squares on the board are black.

The numbers one through eight are written, in that order, on a chalkboard. A mysterious higher power in possession of both an eraser and a piece of chalk chooses three distinct numbers $x$, $y$, and $z$ on the board, and does the following. First, $x$ is erased and replaced with $y$, after which $y$ is erased and replaced with $z$, and finally $z$ is erased and replaced with $x$. The higher power repeats this process some finite number of times. For example, if $(x,y,z)=(2,4,5)$ is chosen, followed by $(x,y,z)=(1,4,3)$, the board would change in the following manner: \[12345678 \rightarrow 14352678 \rightarrow 43152678\] Compute the number of possible final orderings of the eight numbers.
