Consider a 5 by 5 Chess Board. Is it possible to place
5 Queens on the board such that three pawns can safely
be placed on the board? (aka, by carefully choosing where
to place the 5 queens, can you arrange it so that there
are 3 squares on the board that none of the queens can
attack)

(In reply to
Solution by Lawrence)
It says 5 queens and 3 pawns or 3 queens and 5 pawns, not 3 queens and 3 pawns
