You have a standard chess board, and as many queens as you need. What is the most queens that you can put on the board so that no two queens can attack each other? What is the formation to put them in?

Keep in mind that a chess board has 64 squares (8x8), and queens can go diagonal, up and down, and left and right.

"so that no two queens can attack each other?"

Does this mean they can not attack on the first move? If they can move into possision there can be only 1 queen. What am I missing?
