We did this long back.. very interesting as there are no of solutions for each starting position of first Queen.. Principle is that Qs are seperated by N distance (as we called it) i.e. a position N can go to in one step..
8 queens puzzle
Sort:
i am taking a java programming class in college and one of the bonus questions was to write a program that solves the 8 queens puzzle. I had never heard of that before and I found it interesting. I was wondering how many people on here have done that puzzle?\
For those that don't know the puzzle, you have to take 8 queens and place them on a chessboard in such a way that none of them are attacking each other.
