The 8 Queens of Death

The 8 Queens of Death
The 8 Queens of Death

Oh boy, we’re starting the week off with a bang. This puzzle is a real thinker. It involves chess, mathematics, and snooty female royalty. I know my education definitely helped out! (I have a Bachelors in computer science and a PhD in male super modeling).

    It was an easy-ish game. I know that's not a word but I shall use it nonetheless. I could tell you the pattern but that would ruin the game.

    This is an easy game. It doesn't need much thought, either.

    It was really easy for me. Took me about 3 mins on my first try. I guess extrensive chess knowledge does have anything to do with it. Simply put all u need to know is the way the queen moves and find the pattern. I needed no math either. The game description/rules are a little miss leading.

    LOL

    Ok, I just solved it.
    I used a real chessboard, since the angle this game gives you was irritating.

    i actually thought it was kind of hard. i think this calls for a poll to see how many people thought it was easy and how many hard

    This has me stumped so far, I think I'll definitely have a promising future in glass sorting. :)

    Yeah took me about five minutes to realize i needed one on every column and every line then it was easy.

    August 20th, 2007 at 7:46 am the walkthrough guy says:

    Not too hard.

    simply think you have to have one on every line and on every column. Easy going from there.
