How to Solve This Queens Puzzle

Place exactly 5 queens on the 5x5 grid: one in each row, one in each column, and one in each of the 5 colored regions. No two queens may touch, not even diagonally. Start with the smallest regions, since they have the fewest possible spots, and eliminate the row, column, and neighbors of every queen you place.
