Canadian trade is twice as large‚ relative to GDP‚ as Australia’s. Why should this be the case? We saw that not only is GDP important in explaining how much two countries trade‚ but also‚ distance is crucial. Given its remoteness‚ Australia faces relatively high costs of transporting imports and exports‚ thereby reducing the attractiveness of trade.

N-Queens problem is a classical AI problem. Its name is derived from the allowed moves for the queen piece in chess. Queens are allowed to move horizontally‚ vertically‚ or diagonally‚ backward and forward‚ with the only restriction being that they can move in only one direction at a time. A queen that can reach another piece in one move captures it. The N-Queens problem is based on the notion of trying to place N queens on an N x N grid‚ such that no queen will be able to capture any other queen.
