A minus sign is placed on one square of a $5 \times 5$ board and plus signs are placed on the remaining squares. A move is to select a $2 \times 2, 3 \times 3, 4 \times 4$ or $5 \times 5$ square and change all the signs in it. Which initial positions allow a series of moves to change all the signs to plus?

An empty $2020 \times 2020 \times 2020$ cube is given, and a $2020 \times 2020$ grid of square unit cells is drawn on each of its six faces. A [i]beam[/i] is a $1 \times 1 \times 2020$ rectangular prism. Several beams are placed inside the cube subject to the following conditions: [list=] [*]The two $1 \times 1$ faces of each beam coincide with unit cells lying on opposite faces of the cube. (Hence, there are $3 \cdot {2020}^2$ possible positions for a beam.) [*]No two beams have intersecting interiors. [*]The interiors of each of the four $1 \times 2020$ faces of each beam touch either a face of the cube or the interior of the face of another beam.

Consider an infinite strip of unit squares. The squares are numbered "1", "2", "3", ... A pawn starts on one of the squares and it can move according to the following rules: (1) from the square numbered "$n$" to the square numbered "$2n$", and vice versa; (2) from the square numbered "$n$" to the square numbered "$3n + 1$", and vice versa. Show that the pawn can reach the square numbered "$1$" in a finite number of moves.
