Subtract a square

Subtract-a-square (also referred to as take-a-square) is a two-player mathematical subtraction game. It is played by two people with a pile of coins (or other tokens) between them. The players take turns removing coins from the pile, always removing a non-zero square number of coins. The game is usually played as a normal play game, which means that the player who removes the last coin wins. It is an impartial game, meaning that the set of moves available from any position does not depend on whose turn it is. Solomon W. Golomb credits the invention of this game to Richard A. Epstein. (Wikipedia).

22. A brief failed attempt to salvage the argument for Q42.

I realized shortly after recording the previous video that I had made a mistake and that the proof didn't work. Here I try out a small modification to the argument, but that doesn't seem to work either, so I abandon it fairly quickly.
