Avoidant Kings
I had a great time last week lecturing at Math League to a wonderful audience of gifted middle school kids. As a warm-up, I gave them this easy puzzle when I introduced the king from chess.

Just place one king in every cage so that no two attack each other. I'm including two of the handouts from my Math League talk below. PDF Version Solution
