Strange multidimensional list element changing

I'm trying to make a solution for the n queens problem and I want to make a code writing a number of possible solutions for a n X n board and n queens.

Here is my code:

n = int(input())
piony = [[False for i in range(n)] for j in range(n)]
skosy_lp = [[False for i in range(n)] for j in range(n)]
skosy_pl = [[False for i in range(n)] for j in range(n)]
figury = [-1] * n
counter = 0
layer = 0
#list creating etc. piony list is containing vertical lines occupied by queens, skosy_lp
#is containing lines oblique from left to right, skosy_pl - from right to left.
#this is a backtracking algorithm
#figury list is containing positions of queens. -1 means that the queen isn't placed
while True:
    if layer == -1:
        break
    piony[layer] = piony[layer-1]
    skosy_pl[layer] = skosy_pl[layer-1]
    skosy_pl[layer].append(False)
    skosy_pl[layer].pop(0)
    skosy_lp[layer] = skosy_lp[layer-1]
    skosy_lp[layer].insert(0, False)
    skosy_lp[layer].pop(n)
    figury[layer]+=1
    while figury[layer] < n and (piony[layer][figury[layer]] or skosy_lp[layer][figury[layer]]or skosy_lp[layer][figury[layer]]):
        figury[layer] +=1
    if figury[layer] == n:
        figury[layer] = -1
        piony[layer] = [False] * n
        skosy_pl[layer] = [False] * n
        skosy_lp[layer] = [False] * n
        layer-=1
    else:
        if layer == n-1:
            counter+=1
            layer-=1
        else:
            print(piony)
            #I think there is a bug
            piony[layer][figury[layer]] = True
            skosy_pl[layer][figury[layer]] = True
            skosy_lp[layer][figury[layer]] = True
            layer+=1

When I stop a program in the middle, I discover that when I make piony[layer][figury[layer]] = True for layer = 0 (and figury[layer] = 0) the program is changing piony[0][0] and piony[-1][0].

Can someone tell me why and how to fix it?

Where and how is this Laravel kernel constructor called? [closed]

Where and how is this Laravel kernel constructor called? public fucntion __construct(Application $app, $Router $roouter) { } I have read the documentation and some online tutorial but I can find any clear explanation. I am learning Laravel and I am wondering where does this kernel constructor receives its arguments from. "POSTMOTERM" CLARIFICATION: Here is more clarity.I have checked the boostrap/app.php and it is only used for boostrapping the interfaces into the container class. What is not clear to me is where and how the Kernel class is instatiated and the arguments passed to the object calling the constructor.Something similar to; obj = new kernel(arg1,arg2) or, is the framework using some magic functions somewhere? Special gratitude to those who burn their eyeballs and brain cells on this trivia before it goes into a full blown menopause alias "MARKED AS DUPLICATE". To some of the itchy-finger keyboard warriors, a.k.a The mods,because I believe in th...
