Challenge Problems

Push your limits with advanced challenges

Challenge 1 Hard

Solve the N-Queens problem for N=5 using the representations we discussed and identify how many unique placements can be made without attacks.

💡 Hint: Use nested loops and systematic checks against your attack states.

Challenge 2 Hard

Devise an optimization to reduce the time complexity of checking if a square is under attack using the current positional states.

💡 Hint: Consider how data structures can enhance lookup efficiency.
