Queen positions (row, column): R1C7, R2C5, R3C8, R4C3, R5C9, R6C2, R7C4, R8C6, R9C1.
How to Solve Queens #921
The Queens 921 placements are R1C7, R2C5, R3C8, R4C3, R5C9, R6C2, R7C4, R8C6 and R9C1.
- Work down from the top: put the first three queens in columns 7, 5 and 8.
- Use R4C3, R5C9 and R6C2 in the middle three rows. The fifth queen is against the right edge.
- Finish with R7C4, R8C6 and R9C1. The last queen is in the bottom-left corner.
Check the column sequence against the colored board. The sequence uses each of the nine columns once, and the placements give every colored region one queen. The columns of queens in adjacent rows differ by at least two, so the queens cannot touch diagonally.
