How to Solve This Queens Puzzle
Place exactly 10 queens on the 10x10 grid: one in each row, one in each column, and one in each of the 10 colored regions. No two queens may touch, not even diagonally. Start with the smallest regions, since they have the fewest possible spots, and rule out the row, column, and neighbors of every queen you place.
