Problem Description
The highest building in our city has only one elevator. A requestlist is made up with N positive numbers. The numbers denote atwhich floors the elevator will stop, in specified order. It costs 6seconds to move the elevator up one floor, and 4 seconds to movedown one floor. The elevator will stay for 5 seconds at eachstop.
For a given request list, you are to compute the total time spentto fulfill the requests on the list. The elevator is on the 0thfloor at the beginning and does not have to return to the groundfloor when the requests are fulfilled.

Input
There are multiple test cases. Each case contains a positiveinteger N, followed by N positive numbers. All the numbers in theinput are less than 100. A test case with N = 0 denotes the end ofinput. This test case is not to be processed.
Output
Print the total time on a single line for each testcase.
