Safety from the queen (Posted on 2002-12-12) Difficulty: 2 of 5

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)

It says 5 queens and 3 pawns or 3 queens and 5 pawns, not 3 queens and 3 pawns
