Eight Queens

The eight queens problem is a well known  - for us -
computer programming problem. In effect, the puzzle - placing eight
queens on a chess board so that they do not threaten each other -
has long been solved. There are 12 solutions (disounting
reflections and rotations).

Below, one of the solutions. For fun, I have superimposed
its mirror image on top, and both the mirror image and the
mirror's reflection.
