There are $3N$ participants in _AtCoder Group Contest_. The _strength_ of the $i$\-th participant is represented by an integer $a_i$. They will form $N$ teams, each consisting of three participants. No participant may belong to multiple teams. The strength of a team is defined as the second largest strength among its members. For example, a team of participants of strength $1$, $5$, $2$ has a strength $2$, and a team of three participants of strength $3$, $2$, $3$ has a strength $3$. Find the maximum possible sum of the strengths of $N$ teams. ## Constraints * $1 ≤ N ≤ 10^5$ * $1 ≤ a_i ≤ 10^{9}$ * $a_i$ are integers. ## Input Input is given from Standard Input in the following format: $N$ $a_1$ $a_2$ $...$ $a_{3N}$ [samples]
