Baltic Olympiad in Informatics: 2009 Day 1, Problem 2
In a candy factory, there is a mysterious machine. It produces delicious candies, each a little bit different from the others. The machine has a line of output slots, numbered
Now, the factory owner can install automatic wagons that move below the output slots to catch the falling candies. Of course, none of the candies should drop on the floor and get spoiled. However, since running the wagons is expensive, the owner would like to install as few wagons as possible.
Write a program that computes the minimum number of wagons needed to catch all candies. Moreover, your program shall output which wagon should catch which candy. The wagons run at a speed of one slot width per second. Before the production process starts, each wagon can be moved to the slot where it should catch its first candy.
Input Specification
The input describes one production session of the machine. The first line contains exactly one integer
Output Specification
The first line of output should contain exactly one integer
Since all candies shall be caught, each slot and time pair given in one input line must appear in exactly one output line (in any order). If there is more than one solution, output any.
