Method 3 - Hard code!
Method 1: Be lazy and use brute force.
Constrain the starting board positions to only those with 1 queen per each row and column.
Slow but workable for 8x8 boards.
Method 1 Test run: 3 runs, each run testing up to 1000 permutations.
Time: 0.01009 seconds
Results: 2 unique solutions found. (Click to view on chess board)

foreach( $a as $i=>$k ) { $r[$i] = $k + $b[$i]; }
return $r;
}
Method 2: Find all solutions, using bitwise math for board checks,
first finds the 12 fundamental solutions, then the 92 based on rotations/reflections.

Method 3: Hard code!
Why waste time computing all solutions on every page load? Just do it once.
Use any method to solve all 92 solutions,
then hardcode the results into your program to use as needed!
Absolutely the fastest method ;)
