The board for a variant of chess |
2009-03-16 |
|
Adam pose la question : I am trying to figure out how big a piece of wood I need for a variant of chess I thought up. The board essentially is a set of 6 concentric rings with an empty space in the center, each ring consisting of 24 spaces - so essentially 6 concentric 24-sided polygonal rings made up of trapezoidal spaces. I know the interior angle of the shape (15 degrees), but I can't figure out the size this thing should be.
All I know is that the innermost ring will have the smallest spaces, and that those spaces need to be able to accommodate chess pieces 3/4" wide without them overlapping onto neighboring spaces. That is to say, the short parallel side of the trapezoidal space on the innermost ring should be at least 3/4". But I have no clue how to extrapolate the full diameter of the board from that one measurement. HELP!

8 Queens on a Chess Board |
2000-06-06 |
|
Patrick McGarrity pose la question : In the classic puzzle where you put 8 Queens on a chess board and no queen can take any other queen, I was wondering if there was multiple solutions. Obviously there's the mirror and opposite images of the way I solved it, but I was wondering how many solutions there were, and if these solutions all followed a similar pattern?
