Posts: 123 ![]() ![]() Country : India | macherlakumar posted @ 2011-05-30 11:55 AM Hi, In the Queens Park puzzle it is mentioned that "A queen does not block another queen." Then in that case R2C4 = 4 instead of 3, R2C5 = 5 instead of 4 and R4C4 = 3 instead of 2 I think it should rather say "A queen blocks another queen". Please verify this. Thanks Ravi.

![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Country : India | debmohanty posted @ 2011-05-30 12:01 PM Sorry about that statement "A queen does not block another queen". It is not necessary, and moreover confusing. The correct instruction will read "Place X number of queens into the grid so that none of them stands on a number and each number equals to the number of directions from which the given square is attacked by a queen. A queen attacks to arbitrary distance horizontally, vertically and diagonally. " It is important to note that the number represents number of directions from which it can be attacked. It doesn't represent number of queens that can attack the square. Hope it is clear. |

Also the boundary wall is missing from the image, if that is your point. Here is the redrawn image ![]() Note that in the championship it is not necessary to mark the start or end. If the path correctly is drawn, you will get full points. |
