The Five Queens Problem
source: Katrin Becker 2003
The 5 Queens problem: It is possible to place 5 Queens on a chessboard so that every square is dominated by at least one of the Queens; i.e. if any other piece were placed on the board, it would be in danger of being captured by at least one of the Queens. Write a program that will determine the position of each of the five Queens.
 
Variation 2: Do the same thing for 12 Knights.
 
Variation 3: Do the same thing for 8 Bishops
