Let nn be the maximum number of bishops that can be placed on the squares of a 6×66 \times 6 chessboard such that no two bishops are attacking each other. Let kk be the number of ways to put bishops on an 6×66 \times 6 chessboard such that no two bishops are attacking each other. Find n+kn+k. (Two bishops are considered to be attacking each other if they lie on the same diagonal. Equivalently, if we label the squares with coordinates (x,y)(x, y), with 1≤x,y≤61 \leq x, y \leq 6, then the bishops on (a,b)(a, b) and (c,d)(c, d) are attacking each other if and only if ∣a−c∣=∣b−d∣|a-c|=|b-d|.)
