We consider a game on an infinite chessboard similar to that of solitaire: If two adjacent fields are occupied by pawns and the next field is empty (the three fields lie on a vertical or horizontal line), then we may remove these two pawns and put one of them on the third field. Prove that if in the initial position pawns fill a $3k \times n$ rectangle, then it is impossible to reach a position with only one pawn on the board.

Let $ \mathcal{C}$ be the hyperbola $ y^2 \minus{} x^2 \equal{} 1$. Given a point $ P_0$ on the $ x$-axis, we construct a sequence of points $ (P_n)$ on the $ x$-axis in the following manner: let $ \ell_n$ be the line with slope $ 1$ passing passing through $ P_n$, then $ P_{n\plus{}1}$ is the orthogonal projection of the point of intersection of $ \ell_n$ and $ \mathcal C$ onto the $ x$-axis. (If $ P_n \equal{} 0$, then the sequence simply terminates.) Let $ N$ be the number of starting positions $ P_0$ on the $ x$-axis such that $ P_0 \equal{} P_{2008}$. Determine the remainder of $ N$ when divided by $ 2008$.
