I believe I first encountered this problem while working through SICP. Was confused why it's called Linkedin queens, since this problem is a classical one in CS that definitely pre-dated the existence of Linkedin.


LinkedIn's daily Queens puzzle is different than the classical problem in two ways: it adds colored regions which also must have exactly one queen, and it relaxes the diagonal constraint -- queens are allowed in the same diagonal as long as they are not adjacent.
