Arrange all 8 chess pieces of one set (no pawns) on a 5x6 board so no piece attacks another. Never mind that they're all the same color--it's "friendly fire". Be sure that the two bishops are on opposite-colored squares. There are 6 ways, not counting reflections and rotations.

Here's another one:

-K-----N

-------B

-B------

-------N

------R-

-----R--

---Q----

--------

The easiest way to do it, I think, is to create a table in word that looks like a chess set, and then just type in the letters, and move them around as necessary.
