The
Broken Chessboard
Problem was first posed by the famous English puzzlist, H. E. Dudeney
in his book "The Canterbury Puzzles and Other Curious Problems".
Although
he only
published a single solution to his problem, there are in fact 4
distinct solutions, excluding rotations and reflections. Your task is
to find as many as you can. The 13 pieces must be placed into the frame
to form the original chessboard. It is not sufficient to merely get all
the pieces to fit into the frame, you must also have regard for the
alternate black/white coloring of the chess board.
The
computer version of this intriguing puzzle is also accompanied by a
copy of the originally published problem No. 74 from Dudeney's puzzle
book. Why not order your copy today? It's absolutely free!
