9 coats of arms in the ballroom
There is a series of nine coats of arms in the ballroom of the castle:
- Or, three Fleurs de lis Azure.
- Azure, a Bendsinister Or.
- Or, a Fleur de lis Azure.
- Azure, a Cross Or.
- Or, five Fleur de lis Azure in saltire.
- Azure, a Fess Or.
- Or, two Fleur de lis Azure in bend.
- Azure, a Saltire Or.
- Or, four Fleur de lis Azure.
There are so many Fleurs de lis that everyone, except the joker, calls it the «fleurdelisée» room. Nobody knows the reason why the joker says there is none, do you?

Five hurts and five pommes
Transform the blazon «Or» into «Or, five Pommes in saltire» and the blazon «Argent» into «Argent, five Hurts in saltire» moving the pommes and hurts through both metals, without breaking the rule of tinctures.
You can change one charge by another one, but only once.
For example, if you change «Sable, a Bend Argent» by «Sable, a Pale Argent», then the Pommes can arrive to «Or» blazon. However, this is not a solution, because the Hurts cannot walk to «Argent» blazon.
