Each square in a $5 \times 5$ grid is either filled or empty, and has up to eight adjacent neighboring squares, where neighboring squares share either a side or a corner. The grid is transformed by the following rules: [list] [*] Any filled square with two or three filled neighbors remains filled. [*] Any empty square with exactly three filled neighbors becomes a filled square. [*] All other squares remain empty or become empty. [/list] A sample transformation is shown in the figure below. [asy] import geometry; unitsize(0.6cm); void ds(pair x) { filldraw(x -- (1,0) + x -- (1,1) + x -- (0,1)+x -- cycle,gray+opacity(0.5),invisible); } ds((1,1)); ds((2,1)); ds((3,1)); ds((1,3)); for (int i = 0; i <= 5; ++i) { draw((0,i)--(5,i)); draw((i,0)--(i,5)); } label("Initial", (2.5,-1)); draw((6,2.5)--(8,2.5),Arrow); ds((10,2)); ds((11,1)); ds((11,0)); for (int i = 0; i <= 5; ++i) { draw((9,i)--(14,i)); draw((i+9,0)--(i+9,5)); } label("Transformed", (11.5,-1)); [/asy] Suppose the $5 \times 5$ grid has a border of empty squares surrounding a $3 \times 3$ subgrid. How many initial configurations will lead to a transformed grid consisting of a single filled square in the center after a single transformation?

Let $n$ be a positive integer, $1<n<2018$. For each $i=1, 2, \ldots ,n$ we define the polynomial $S_i(x)=x^2-2018x+l_i$, where $l_1, l_2, \ldots, l_n$ are distinct positive integers.
