Problem 1.
An integer n>1 is called $\emph{good}$ if there exists a permutation a1,a2,a3,...,an of the numbers 1,2,3,...,n , such that:
(i) ai and ai+1 have different parities for every 1 ≤ i ≤n-1 ;
(ii)  the sum a1+a2+a3+...+ak  is a quadratic residue modulo n  for every 1 ≤ k ≤n  .
Prove that there exist infinitely many good numbers, as well as infinitely many positive integers which are not good.
