Added March 2018: People are using bizarre solution approaches with what they manage to find online. You might as well use my list of 7-queen solutions (see image gallery). Understanding the notation helps, so reading the assignment (also in image gallery) may or may not be helpful.

September 2021: Millersville University had a cyber-attack in spring 2021. The department web server is not available. So I am including the information from the links mentioned above in the gallery.

Congratulations to NoBlueCircles on the first-to-find.
