$\text{[math]}$

Distribution channels are often very confusing.

After acquiring enough funding and finally finishing the development for her product, Mrs. Evans wants to release it to the local market. However, the Canadian Competition Act prevents her from choosing the cheapest way to connect her stores.

In order to spend the least amount of money and abide by the Canadian Competition Act, she must find the second cheapest way to connect her stores.

Mrs. Evans hopes to open $N$ ~N~ $(1 \le N \le 50\,000)$ ~(1 \le N \le 50\,000)~ stores and there are $M$ ~M~ $(1 \le M \le 100\,000)$ ~(1 \le M \le 100\,000)~ possible connections between her stores. The $i^\text{th}$ ~i^\text{th}~ connection connects station $a_i$ ~a_i~ to station $b_i$ ~b_i~ with a cost of $c_i$ ~c_i~. She can only choose $N-1$ ~N-1~ connections.

If it is impossible for her to do this, output -1.

N.B. The time limit is rather strict for certain slow languages like Python and Java. C++ is recommended for this question.

Partial Marks

For 25% of the marks, you may assume that $N \le 5\,000$ ~N \le 5\,000~, $M \le 10\,000$ ~M \le 10\,000~.

For 50% of the marks, you may assume that $N \le 10\,000$ ~N \le 10\,000~, $M \le 50\,000$ ~M \le 50\,000~.

Input Specification

The first line will contain $N$ ~N~, and $M$ ~M~. The $i^\text{th}$ ~i^\text{th}~ of the next $M$ ~M~ lines will contain $a_i$ ~a_i~, $b_i$ ~b_i~, and $c_i$ ~c_i~, where $(1 \le a_i,b_i \le N, a_i \ne b_i, 1 \le c_i \le 10\,000)$ .

Output Specification

A single line containing the second cheapest way to connect her stores.

When you say if it is possible, I think you mean the opposite.
