A square piece of paper is cut by n different straight lines, each passing through two parallel sides of the square. If no cut passes through any of the square's four vertices, what is the value of n?
(1) The sum of the perimeters of the smaller shapes into which the square is cut is exactly n times the perimeter of the original square.
(2) The n cuts divide the original square into two pentagons, three quadrilaterals, and two triangles.
