Dragons and Dragon Slayers












0












$begingroup$



  • In the Kingdom, there are 7 dragons and 7 dragon slayers.


  • Each dragon has ($text{index}times10000$) hit points (i.e. $10,000to70,000$).


  • Each dragon slayer does ($text{index}times1000$) damage (i.e. $1,000to7,000$).


  • The local King asks the dragon slayers to slay all the dragons.


  • Each slay round consists of each dragon slayer each attacking a single dragon.


  • A dragon slayer cannot attack the same dragon again until he has attacked all remaining dragons.


  • Dragon slayers don't die.


  • The King figures it will take them $10$ slay rounds (hit point to damage ratio), and offers to pay $1,000,000-(text{number of slay rounds taken}times100,000)$.



Can it be done?

    After a slayer attacks each dragon once, may it attack the same dragon 3 times, or must it attack a different dragon each of the last 3 rounds?
