J. W. L. Glaisher 在 1874 年的一篇文章中断言，娱乐数学的八皇后问题起源于 1850 年，弗兰兹·诺克 (Franz Nauck) 将其提出给高斯，高斯随后给出了完整的解决方案。事实上，这个问题是两年前由马克斯·贝泽尔（Max Bezzel）首次提出的，随后诺克在高斯偶然读到的一份报纸上再次提出，高斯只是在一次偶然的尝试中部分解决了这个问题。格莱舍能够用德语准确地描述历史，但也许无法很好地阅读德语。这个错误随后在娱乐数学文献中传播开来。
An 1874 article by J. W. L. Glaisher asserted that the eight queens problem of recreational mathematics originated in 1850 with Franz Nauck proposing it to Gauss, who then gave the complete solution. In fact the problem was first proposed two years earlier by Max Bezzel, proposed again by Nauck in a newspaper Gauss happened to read, and only partially solved by Gauss in a casual attempt. Glaisher had access to an accurate account of the history in German but perhaps could not read the language well; the error subsequently spread through the recreational mathematics literature.
