    There are 92 solutions to the 8 x 8 problem. Many of these are reflections and rotations of some of the others, and if we de-duplicate against this, purists state that there are only 12 distinct solutions (92 does not divide equally by 12 because many of the reflections and rotations of a pure ...

    We simply added the conditions needed for it to be considered as the N Queens puzzle · on a toroidal board. Just like the permutation code, the following code works with the · permutation method to find all solutions on an N × N board with N queens. The input · is again the variable N, which gives us our N × N board size and the number of Queens, which will be placed on the board. The output will again consist of the number of total
