$2^N$ players, labeled $1$ through $2^N$, will compete against each other in a single-elimination programming tournament. The rating of Player $i$ is $A_i$. Any two players have different ratings, and a match between two players always results in the victory of the player with the higher rating. The tournament looks like a perfect binary tree. Formally, the tournament will proceed as follows: * For each integer $i = 1, 2, 3, \dots, N$ in this order, the following happens. * For each integer $j (1 \le j \le 2^{N - i})$, among the players who have never lost, the player with the $(2j - 1)$\-th smallest label and the player with the $2j$\-th smallest label play a match against each other. Find the label of the player who will take **second place**, that is, lose in the final match. ## Constraints * $1 \le N \le 16$ * $1 \le A_i \le 10^9$ * $A_i$ are pairwise different. * All values in input are integers. ## Input Input is given from Standard Input in the following format: $N$ $A_1$ $A_2$ $A_3$ $\dots$ $A_{2^N}$ [samples]

First, there will be two matches between Players $1$ and $2$ and between Players $3$ and $4$. According to the ratings, Players $2$ and $4$ will win.  
Then, there will be a match between Players $2$ and $4$, and the tournament will end with Player $4$ becoming champion.  
The player who will lose in the final match is Player $2$, so we should print $2$.
