It isn't mentioned that zero knights are not allowed hence if all are of one colour no one will attack the oher ; ¶)

Given the answer, it seems that this was Jason's intent, to allow for the trivial case, since, if I read the question correctly, the only solution for filling all 16 spots is if they are either all white or all black.
