Order Of A Polynomial Shuffle

For how many possible values of n n , can one find a polynomial with integer coefficients f ( x ) f(x) and pair-wise distinct integers x 1 , x 2 , . . . , x n , x_1,x_2,...,x_n, such that 0 x i 24 0\leq x_i \leq 24 for all i i and { f ( x 1 ) x 2 ( m o d 25 ) f ( x 2 ) x 3 ( m o d 25 ) . . . f ( x n ) x 1 ( m o d 25 ) ? \begin{cases}f(x_1)\equiv x_2 \pmod {25}\\ f(x_2)\equiv x_3 \pmod {25}\\ \ ...\\ f(x_n)\equiv x_1 \pmod {25} \ ?\end{cases}
