jtinder··on TypeScripting the technical interview
An amazing read, and almost perfect!

There's a bug in the Solve "function" due to which you'll get the right answer only for 1x1, 5x5 and 7x7 (I checked till 8x8).

The base case makes a wrong assumption that there will always be a candidate available for the last row. If there are no candidates available, it should return Nil, and backtrack.

Basically, replace

  Concat<candidates, placedQueens>
with

  candidates extends Cons<infer x, any>
    ? Cons<x, placedQueens>
    : Nil

You are a self-aware mixture of lots of carbon atoms, water molecules, several metals, etc... of many solids, liquids and gases.
