Eight knights - numbered 1 through 8 - are seating facing the Round Table in such a way that no knight sits next to any knight whose number is one away - plus or minus - from his own. Also, Knight 1 is not directly across from Knight 6. With knights 2, 5, and 7 seated as shown, set the rest of the knights.
This is the 4th iteration of this one in this thread, so imma leave it for someone who has perhaps not taken a stab.
At this point, I think they’re all variations of old ones.
