COMMENTS

Consider an n X n chessboard. Place n queens in the cells of the first row, in cells (1,1), (2,1),..., (n,1) and [(n+1)/2] pawns in the odd cells of the second row, namely in cells (1,2), (3,2), (5,2), ... Which is the number of the unattacked (by the queens) cells ? How many cells are not attacked by the queens?
