Queens #917 Solution
Queen positions (row, column): R1C1, R2C7, R3C4, R4C2, R5C5, R6C3, R7C6.
How to Solve Queens #917
The Queens 917 answer is R1C1, R2C7, R3C4, R4C2, R5C5, R6C3 and R7C6. The board has seven rows, seven columns and seven color regions.
- Reserve the top row for lavender. Its final queen is R1C1, which leaves the neighboring top-row cell empty.
- The blue region at the upper-right uses R2C7. The pink region receives R3C4.
- Place the orange-region queen at R4C2 and the yellow-region queen at R5C5.
- Finish the gray region at R6C3 and the coral region at R7C6.
Read the column sequence from top to bottom as 1, 7, 4, 2, 5, 3, 6. Each column appears once, and each queen occupies a different region. The large orange region can be difficult to track, so cross out its cells when a smaller region claims their row or column.
As a final check, compare queens in neighboring rows: their columns always differ by at least two, so none touch diagonally.
