8 queens to place in Queens #905, one in each row, column and region, none touching. One region, the 2-cell region that includes row 3, column 5, is confined to a single row. Every queen you place removes its row, its column, the cells around it and the rest of its region; mark them and the board shrinks fast.
Hints
Hint 1: where to start
Look at the 2-cell region that includes row 3, column 5 first: it never leaves row 3, which pins that row's queen to 2 cells. Its queen lands in row 3.
Hint 2: a solid foothold
Put a queen on row 3, column 5 and cross off the 18 cells it attacks or shares a region with.
Hint 3: nearly there
After that, row 2 has only 5 legal cells left: its queen goes at row 2, column 7. The remaining rows then fall one by one.
