We have $N$ cards numbered $1, 2, ..., N$. Card $i$ ($1 \leq i \leq N$) has an integer $A_i$ written in red ink on one side and an integer $B_i$ written in blue ink on the other side. Initially, these cards are arranged from left to right in the order from Card $1$ to Card $N$, with the red numbers facing up. Determine whether it is possible to have a non-decreasing sequence facing up from left to right (that is, for each $i$ ($1 \leq i \leq N - 1$), the integer facing up on the $(i+1)$\-th card from the left is not less than the integer facing up on the $i$\-th card from the left) by repeating the operation below. If the answer is yes, find the minimum number of operations required to achieve it. * Choose an integer $i$ ($1 \leq i \leq N - 1$). Swap the $i$\-th and $(i+1)$\-th cards from the left, then flip these two cards. ## Constraints * $1 \leq N \leq 18$ * $1 \leq A_i, B_i \leq 50$ ($1 \leq i \leq N$) * All values in input are integers. ## Input Input is given from Standard Input in the following format: $N$ $A_1$ $A_2$ $...$ $A_N$ $B_1$ $B_2$ $...$ $B_N$ [samples]
Samples
Input #1
3
3 4 3
3 2 3
Output #1
1

By doing the operation once with $i = 1$, we have a sequence $[2, 3, 3]$ facing up, which is non-decreasing.
Input #2
2
2 1
1 2
Output #2
\-1

After any number of operations, we have the sequence $[2, 1]$ facing up, which is not non-decreasing.
Input #3
4
1 2 3 4
5 6 7 8
Output #3
0

No operation may be required.
