Should anyone feel like losing their sanity
Righty ho. I've been told (and am quite incline to believe) that there are 12 ways to arrange 8 queens on a chessboard without any piece menacing another one. The 12 ways are apparently completely different, ie. no "mirror effect" or any trick of the like.
I'm on 3 at the moment, and feely fiercely proud. I only really started thinking about that yesternight though, so i might update this post in the near-ish future. But please, do share if you get more than that ^^.
Incidentally, for those that may not know how chess words -- the checkboard is 8x8, and the queen moves horizontally, vertically, and diagon alley, with no limits of squares or whatever you call the small boxes.
