Checker Challenge
Examine the 6x6 checkerboard below and note that the six checkers are arranged on the board so that one and only one is placed in each row and each column, and there is never more than one in any diagonal. (Diagonals run from southeast to northwest and southwest to northeast and include all diagonals, not just the major two.)
Column 1 2 3 4 5 6 ------------------------- 1 | | O | | | | | ------------------------- 2 | | | | O | | | ------------------------- 3 | | | | | | O | ------------------------- 4 | O | | | | | | ------------------------- 5 | | | O | | | | ------------------------- 6 | | | | | O | | -------------------------
The solution shown above is described by the sequence 2 4 6 1 3 5, which gives the column positions of the checkers for each row from 1 to 6:
ROW | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 |
COLUMN | 2 | 4 | 6 | 1 | 3 | 5 |
This is one solution to the checker challenge. Write a program that finds all unique solution sequences to the Checker Challenge (with ever growing values of N). Print the solutions using the column notation described above. Print the the first three solutions in numerical order, as if the checker positions form the digits of a large number, and then a line with the total number of solutions.
Special note: the larger values of N require your program to be especially efficient. Do not precalculate the value and print it (or even find a formula for it); that's cheating. Work on your program until it can solve the problem properly. If you insist on cheating, your login to the USACO training pages will be removed and you will be disqualified from all USACO competitions. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED.

题意:
皇后问题。给出N,表示有一个N行N列的矩阵,要求放N个棋子,任意两个棋子不在同一行同一列同一对角线(无论是正向还是反向)上。
思路:
可以用DFS,也可以用位运算。DFS标记三个方向(竖,主对角线,反向对角线),对每行搜索。注意主对角线是横纵坐标差绝对值相等,反对角线是和相等。
