The N Queens Puzzle Revisited

Problem code: J3

  • Submit
  • All Submissions

All submissions for this problem are available.

Johnny, a computer science student from the Bytelandian Technological University (BTU), has finally managed to write a program to solve the N queens problem. However, his version of the N queens problem is not really all that similar to the classical one.

Recall that in the N queens problem, there is a square chessboard of size NxN. The goal is to put N queens on the chessboard so that no two queens would be able to attack each other.

In Johnny's version of the problem (which he states to be "much harder" than the original one), there are K "blocked" squares given on the chessboard. The goal is still the same: to put N queens on the chessboard such that no two queens would be able to attack each other. However, there are some differences due to the existence of blocked squares. First, a queen cannot be put on a blocked square. Secondly, two queens are considered to be able to attack each other only if there is no blocked square between them. Finally, there must be exactly one queen on every column of the board.

Johnny claims that his program solves the above problem very effectively. He generates some test cases (which his program can solve within minutes) to challenge you. You know the method Johnny used to generate the test case. For a given N, Johnny randomly picks a number K between 1 and N2/2 with equal probability. After that, Johnny picks K blocked squares on the chess board. Any combinations of K squares can be picked with equal probability.

Write a program that can solve Johnny's test cases within seconds.

Input

The first line contains t, the number of test cases (about 5). Then t test cases follow. Each test case has the following form:

  • The first line contains two integers N and K (8 <= N <= 500, 1 <= K <= N2/2)
  • Each line in the next K lines contains two integers i, j which are the row and the column number of a blocked square (1 <= i, j <= N)

Each test case's input is separated by a blank line. The rows and the columns of the chessboard are numbered from 1 to N. There is always a solution for each test case.

Output

For each test case, print a single line containing N integers a1, a2, ..., aN in which ai is the row number of the queen in column i. Any correct solution will be accepted.

Hello ..

Why cant The queen in the first column be in the first row ? ie [1,1] place ?

if there is no block between 2 queens diagonally, that is also considered to be non blocking?

HELP

Program should read from standard input and write to standard output. After you submit a solution you can see your results by clicking on the [My Submissions] tab on the problem page. Below are the possible results:

 

  • Accepted Your program ran successfully and gave a correct answer. If there is a score for the problem, this will be displayed in parenthesis next to the checkmark.
  • Time Limit Exceeded Your program was compiled successfully, but it didn't stop before time limit. Try optimizing your approach.
  • Wrong Answer Your program compiled and ran succesfully but the output did not match the expected output.
  • Runtime Error Your code compiled and ran but encountered an error. The most common reasons are using too much memory or dividing by zero. For the specific error codes see the help section.
  • Compilation Error Your code was unable to compile. When you see this icon, click on it for more information.
  • If you are still having problems, see a sample solution here.

CodeChef - A Platform for Aspiring Programmers

CodeChef was created as a platform to help programmers make it big in the world of algorithms, computer programming and programming contests. At CodeChef we work hard to revive the geek in you by hosting a programming contest at the start of the month and another smaller programming challenge in the middle of the month. We also aim to have training sessions and discussions related to algorithms, binary search, technicalities like array size and the likes. Apart from providing a platform for programming competitions, CodeChef also has various algorithm tutorials and forum discussions to help those who are new to the world of computer programming.

Practice Section - A Place to hone your 'Computer Programming Skills'

Try your hand at one of our many practice problems and submit your solution in a language of your choice. Our programming contest judge accepts solutions in over 35+ programming languages. Preparing for coding contests were never this much fun! Receive points, and move up through the CodeChef ranks. Use our practice section to better prepare yourself for the multiple programming challenges that take place through-out the month on CodeChef.

Compete - Monthly Programming Contests and Cook-offs

Here is where you can show off your computer programming skills. Take part in our 10 day long monthly coding contest and the shorter format Cook-off coding contest. Put yourself up for recognition and win great prizes. Our programming contests have prizes worth up to Rs.20,000 and $700lots more CodeChef goodies up for grabs.

Discuss

Are you new to computer programming? Do you need help with algorithms? Then be a part of CodeChef's Forums and interact with all our programmers - they love helping out other programmers and sharing their ideas. Have discussions around binary search, array size, branch-and-bound, Dijkstra's algorithm, Encryption algorithm and more by visiting the CodeChef Forums and Wiki section.

CodeChef Community

As part of our Educational initiative, we give institutes the opportunity to associate with CodeChef in the form of Campus Chapters. Hosting online programming competitions is not the only feature on CodeChef. You can also host a coding contest for your institute on CodeChef, organize an algorithm event and be a guest author on our blog.

Go For Gold

The Go for Gold Initiative was launched about a year after CodeChef was incepted, to help prepare Indian students for the ACM ICPC World Finals competition. In the run up to the ACM ICPC competition, the Go for Gold initiative uses CodeChef as a platform to train students for the ACM ICPC competition via multiple warm up contests. As an added incentive the Go for Gold initiative is also offering over Rs.8 lacs to the Indian team that beats the 29th position at the ACM ICPC world finals. Find out more about the Go for Gold and the ACM ICPC competition here.
