Fax McClad and his Christmas tree (in progress).

Fax McClad, Croneria's most innovative bounty hunter, has been assigned by the Cronerian government to set up a Christmas tree.

Fax is given pieces of tree, numbered from to . There are already connections within the tree pieces, each connection has a length of and connects tree pieces and . It is guaranteed that there is no more than one path between any two tree pieces.

Fax needs to connect the tree pieces such that all of the tree pieces form a complete tree. In a complete tree, there is exactly one path between any two tree pieces. Each connection that Fax makes has a length of . Fax is allowed to choose whichever tree piece is the top.

There are two types of trees that Fax can build, which is signified by . The first type of tree has the largest height possible, so that people can see it far away. The second type of tree has the smallest height possible, since the tree might interfere with Cronerian airspace. The height of the tree is the largest distance from the top of the tree to any other tree piece.

Can you help Fax to determine what the height of his tree will be?

Clearly the problems aren't the same since you solved Dreaming but not this (during the contest).

Should tree be just the binary tree? Or any type of tree is acceptable?

Any type of tree is acceptable.
