Omkar, Krit1,Krit2\mathrm{Krit}_{1}, \mathrm{Krit}_{2}, and Krit3\mathrm{Krit}_{3} are sharing x>0x>0 pints of soup for dinner. Omkar always takes 1 pint of soup (unless the amount left is less than one pint, in which case he simply takes all the remaining soup). Krit 1_{1} always takes 16\frac{1}{6} of what is left, Krit 2{ }_{2} always takes 15\frac{1}{5} of what is left, and Krit 3{ }_{3} always takes 14\frac{1}{4} of what is left. They take soup in the order of Omkar, Krit1,Krit2\mathrm{Krit}_{1}, \mathrm{Krit}_{2}, Krit3\mathrm{Krit}_{3}, and then cycle through this order until no soup remains. Find all xx for which everyone gets the same amount of soup.
