More fun facts:
After identifying solutions up to rotation and reflection there are only 49 solutions. No solutions have rotational symmetry, and there is exactly one solution with reflection symmetry (already mentioned by an earlier commenter).
Out of the 49 solution classes, there are 18 distinct queen layouts. The layouts have between 1 and 5 ways to place the bishop to complete the solution. Interestingly, there is exactly one queen layout (up to rotation / reflection) for which there are exactly 2 ways to place the bishop to complete the puzzle.
