Simon and Garfunkle play in a round-robin golf tournament. Each player is awarded one point for a victory, a half point for a tie, and no points for a loss. Simon beat Garfunkle in the first game by a record margin as Garfunkle sent a shot over the bridge and into troubled waters on the final hole. Garfunkle went on to score $8$ total victories, but no ties at all. Meanwhile, Simon wound up with exactly $8$ points, including the point for a victory over Garfunkle. Amazingly, every other player at the tournament scored exactly $n$. Find the sum of all possible values of $n$.

An integer partition, is a way of writing n as a sum of positive integers. Two sums that differ only in the order of their summands are considered the same partition. [quote]For example, 4 can be partitioned in five distinct ways: 4 3 + 1 2 + 2 2 + 1 + 1 1 + 1 + 1 + 1[/quote] The number of partitions of n is given by the partition function $p\left ( n \right )$. So $p\left ( 4 \right ) = 5$ . Determine all the positive integers so that $p\left ( n \right )+p\left ( n+4 \right )=p\left ( n+2 \right )+p\left ( n+3 \right )$.
