's Challenge: 8-Queens!
The 8-Queens problem in chess is to place 8 queens on a chess board such that none of the queens is threatening any of the others. The problem is to input the 8 columns of the queens on the rows of a chess board, with 1 being the first column and 8 being the last, e.g. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 means the queens are along the diagonal, which would not be a valid solution.
