Find all functions $ f: \mathbb{N^{*}}\to \mathbb{N^{*}}$ satisfying \[ \left(f^{2}\left(m\right)+f\left(n\right)\right) \mid \left(m^{2}+n\right)^{2}\] for any two positive integers $ m$ and $ n$. [i]Remark.[/i] The abbreviation $ \mathbb{N^{*}}$ stands for the set of all positive integers: $ \mathbb{N^{*}}=\left\{1,2,3,...\right\}$. By $ f^{2}\left(m\right)$, we mean $ \left(f\left(m\right)\right)^{2}$ (and not $ f\left(f\left(m\right)\right)$). [i]Proposed by Mohsen Jamali, Iran[/i]

For a positive integer $n$, two payers $A$ and $B$ play the following game: Given a pile of $s$ stones, the players take turn alternatively with $A$ going first. On each turn the player is allowed to take either one stone, or a prime number of stones, or a positive multiple of $n$ stones. The winner is the one who takes the last stone. Assuming both $A$ and $B$ play perfectly, for how many values of $s$ the player $A$ cannot win?
