What/How: The 8-Queens Problem asks you to find a position of the CHESS
          board of which 8 queens are on it but no one threatens the other.
          The program is uses the brute-force method (sounds like a cool
          password searching ...) or in other words searches for all the
          solutions to the problem.
  
Problems: It seems that out of the 92 solutions found, some can be called
          duplicate because basically each solution contains 3 more if you
          rotate the board ... (Am I correct ?)
          92 / 4 = 23 Unique solutions ?
