The solution given below uses simple math to reduce the processing. The logic is keep placing the coins on the board with below rules:</p> <ol> <li>Don't place the coin if there is another coin present in the same row</li> <li>Don't place the coin if there is another coin present in the same col</li> <li>Don't place the coin if there is another coin present in any of the diagonal lines.</li> </ol> <p>Keep repeating the above 3 rules recursively until we keep all the coins.

Revision 4. </p> <p>It's a simple recipe to convert a str type string with pure unicode code point (e.g string = <strong>"\u5982\u679c\u7231"</strong> ) to an unicode type string. Actually, this method has the same effect with <strong>'u'</strong> prefix. But differently, it allows you to pass a variable of code points string as well as a constant one.</p> Packet monitoring with pcap and dpkt (Python) 2011-09-13T06:56:36-07:00Victor Yanghttp://code.activestate.com/recipes/users/627255/http://code.activestate.com/recipes/576678-packet-monitoring-with-pcap-and-dpkt/ <p style="color: grey"> Python recipe 576678 by <a href="/recipes/users/627255/">Victor Yang</a> (<a href="/recipes/tags/network/">network</a>, <a href="/recipes/tags/sniff/">sniff</a>).
