There are $ n$ websites $ 1,2,\ldots,n$ ($ n \geq 2$). If there is a link from website $ i$ to $ j$, we can use this link so we can move website $ i$ to $ j$. For all $ i \in \left\{1,2,\ldots,n - 1 \right\}$, there is a link from website $ i$ to $ i+1$. Prove that we can add less or equal than $ 3(n - 1)\log_{2}(\log_{2} n)$ links so that for all integers $ 1 \leq i < j \leq n$, starting with website $ i$, and using at most three links to website $ j$. (If we use a link, website's number should increase. For example, No.7 to 4 is impossible). Sorry for my bad English.
