This problem, posed first by G.L. Honaker, is to put a queen and the $n^2$ numbers $1,…,n^2$, on a $n \times n$ chessboard so that:
Note that 1 is not prime, and that the queen does not attack its own cell.
A 6x6 chessboard without free primes (the queen is on the cell containing 33):
9 | 32 | 3 | 28 | 11 | 30 |
4 | 27 | 10 | 31 | 34 | 1 |
17 | 8 | 33 | 2 | 29 | 12 |
26 | 5 | 16 | 19 | 22 | 35 |
15 | 18 | 7 | 24 | 13 | 20 |
6 | 25 | 14 | 21 | 36 | 23 |
