Challenging Question # 6

A checkerboard is missing two of its squares.  The lower left square and the upper right square are gone.  That leaves 62 squares on the board.  You are given 31 dominoes.  Each domino is a rectangle that can cover exactly two squares on the checkerboard.  Can you place all 31 dominoes on the checkerboard, so that all 62 squares are covered?
