A king, a queen, a rook, a bishop, and a knight are on a chessboard on the edge of a heart shape, in some order, on squares C7, E7, B5, F5, and D3. They threaten the squares B6, F6, C4 and D4, but each of those four squares is threatened by exactly one piece. How many pieces threaten the center of the heart at D6?
Always possible I've gotten something wrong.. such as, the heart goes through e4, not d4. The choices in the queen's position are limited by the requirement that each free square on the edge of the heart is controlled by exactly one officer. If there is alternative solution with the center controlled by four, great.
