Three legendary knights are fighting against a multiheaded dragon. Whenever the first knight attacks, he cuts off half of the current number of heads plus one more. Whenever the second knight attacks, he cuts off one third of the current number of heads plus two more. Whenever the third knight attacks, he cuts off one fourth of the current number of heads plus three more. They repeatedly attack in an arbitrary order so that at each step an integer number of heads is being cut off. If all the knights cannot attack as the number of heads would become non-integer, the dragon eats them. Will the knights be able to cut off all the dragon’s heads if it has $41!$ heads?

On an infinite “squared” sheet six squares are shaded as in the diagram. On some squares there are pieces. It is possible to transform the positions of the pieces according to the following rule: if the neighbour squares to the right and above a given piece are free, it is possible to remove this piece and put pieces on these free squares. The goal is to have all the shaded squares free of pieces. Is it possible to reach this goal if (a) In the initial position there are $6$ pieces and they are placed on the $6$ shaded squares? (b) In the initial position there is only one piece, located in the bottom left shaded square?
