Eight all different sushis are placed evenly on the edge of a round table, whose surface can rotate around the center. Eight people also evenly sit around the table, each with one sushi in front. Each person has one favorite sushi among these eight, and they are all distinct. They find that no matter how they rotate the table, there are never more than three people who have their favorite sushis in front of them simultaneously. By this requirement, how many different possible arrangements of the eight sushis are there? Two arrangements that differ by a rotation are considered the same.

For a positive integer $n$, we consider all its divisors (including $1$ and itself). Suppose that $p\%$ of these divisors have their unit digit equal to $3$. (For example $n = 117$, has six divisors, namely $1,3,9,13,39,117$. Two of these divisors namely $3$ and $13$, have unit digits equal to $3$. Hence for $n = 117$, $p =33.33...$). Find, when $n$ is any positive integer, the maximum possible value of $p$.
