And if it's what I'm thinking of, it's going to be all queens, or all Queens plus one other chess piece.

What are you thinking?

 		i think we need to arrange the queens on the chess board so that they can't attack each other, how many do we have so far, six?

My thoughts exactly.




Also, did the landlord fall asleep or something?

 		So basically - n queens on a n by n board problem...

i guess the real question will be is - do we have them all by having six? are we missing two?

i.e. http://mspearson.lyndenlea.info/stuff.php?pg=queens&pt=algorithm

Can someone please check, if the dead body is missing a finger? Because I smelled a dead body in room 477 but the body was missing. If the finger is missing it could be another victim and not Aki - I hope so.

I donno. I was thinking we needed 10 actually, which I can do, if I grab two pawns from a neighboring chessboard.

8's easy though. 6 even more so.


EDIT: Also, don't forget, there's is/was a dead body in 279

EDIT THE SECOND: Also, is anyone else using the wiki?
Seems I'm the one doing the majority of the changes, and that only to keep track of mine own stuffs.

The "you are here" card from 277 muddies the waters... but the body in 279 is missing a lot of blood. Who knows?

 		Well, from what I understand, if the board is 8x8 we should really be using 8 queens, less is possible, more isn't... we could try the 6 queens solution - but if we wanted to we could try stealing two red queens from the other tables... if they are red...

 		looking back at Kane's post, with the original riddle it seems we should have ten total. I'll work on that. five queens in the rec room, five truant. we need to find the queens, they aren't all in the rec room.
