Description

It's time to put your hacking skills to the test! You’ve been called upon to help crack enemy codes in the
current war on... something or another. Anyway, the point is that you have discovered the encryption
technique used by the enemy; it is quite simple, and proceeds as follows. Note that all strings contain only
uppercase letters of the alphabet.

1. We are given a key K and a plaintext P which is encrypted character-by-character to produce a
   ciphertext C of the same length.

2. If |K| is the length of the key K,thenthefirst |K| characters of C are obtained by adding the first
   |K| characters of P to the characters of K, where adding two letters means interpreting them as
   numbers (A =0, B = 1, and so on) and taking the sum modulo 26. That is, Ci =(Pi +Ki)mod26for
   i =1,..., |K|.If |K| > |P|, then the extra characters in K are ignored.

3. The remaining characters of P, i.e. Pi for i> |K|, are encrypted using the previous ciphertext
   characters by Ci =(Pi + Ci!|K|)mod26for i = |K| +1,..., |P|.
   +
   As an example, consider the encryption of the string “STANFORD” using the key “ACM”:

STA NFORD
+ACM SVMFA
----------
SVM FAAWD

Knowing this, you are well on your way to being able to read the enemy’s communications. Luckily, you
also have several pairs of plaintexts and ciphertexts which your team recovered, all of which are known to
be encrypted with the same key. Help find the key that the enemy is using.

Input

The input consists of multiple test cases. Each test case begins with a line containing a single integer N,
1 ! N ! 100, the number of plaintext and ciphertext pairs you will receive. The next N lines each contain
two strings P and C, the plaintext and ciphertext, respectively. P and C will contain only uppercase letters
(A-Z) and have the same length (at most 100 characters). The input terminates with a line with N =0. For
example:

Output

For each test case, print a single line that contains the shortest possible key or “Impossible”(quotesadded
for clarity) if no possible key could have produced all of the encryptions. For example, the correct output
for the sample input above would be:

【思路】

明文和密码长度都相同，而要求key的长度其实也没必要比最长的明文和密码长，我们可以将所有的明文和密码按照长度排一下序，由长到短，然后从1到最长枚举key的长度，直接暴力检验就好了。

【代码】

#include<cstdio>
#include<cstring>
#include<algorithm>
using namespace std;

const int MAXN=105;

struct text{
    char plain[MAXN],cipher[MAXN];
    int len;

    bool operator<(const text &another)const
    {
        return len>another.len;
    }

};
