Talk:N-queens problem

Is the goal to find one solution, or all solutions? --164.67.235.98 19:59, 12 September 2009 (UTC)

Tcl: All Solutions

I've put up code to find all solutions; finding just one is a trivial adaptation of that (stop iterating after the first solution is found...) —Donal Fellows 20:37, 12 September 2009 (UTC)

Python permission

I thought I might copy the email trail where I got permission to post a Python solution from its original author:

Removing existing C code: webbug?

I added a C solution, then realized the existing C example is sending results to some http server. This amounts to a web bug, I'm removing it, until the intent of the webbug can be clarified and justified --Ledrug 03:34, 6 July 2011 (UTC)

Apparently the ip address is somewhere in germany, on a machine owned by 23media.eu. --Rdm 04:44, 6 July 2011 (UTC)
