Two pirates Polycarpus and Vasily play a very interesting game. They have n chests with coins, the chests are numbered with integers from 1 to n. Chest number i has ai coins.

Polycarpus and Vasily move in turns. Polycarpus moves first. During a move a player is allowed to choose a positive integer x (2·x + 1 ≤ n) and take a coin from each chest with numbers x, x, x + 1. It may turn out that some chest has no coins, in this case the player doesn't take a coin from this chest. The game finishes when all chests get emptied.

Polycarpus isn't a greedy scrooge. Polycarpys is a lazy slob. So he wonders in what minimum number of moves the game can finish. Help Polycarpus, determine the minimum number of moves in which the game can finish. Note that Polycarpus counts not only his moves, he also counts Vasily's moves.

Input

The first line contains a single integer n (1 ≤ n ≤ 100) — the number of chests with coins. The second line contains a sequence of space-separated integers: a1, a2, ..., an (1 ≤ ai ≤ 1000), where ai is the number of coins in the chest number i at the beginning of the game.

Output

Print a single integer — the minimum number of moves needed to finish the game. If no sequence of turns leads to finishing the game, print -1.

Note

In the first test case there isn't a single move that can be made. That's why the players won't be able to empty the chests.

In the second sample there is only one possible move x = 1. This move should be repeated at least 3 times to empty the third chest.


  1. //这个题目重要的是在删除的时候要有最少重叠  
  2. //逆向法总是被忘记呢  
  3. //反正最远方的一定要去掉,最远方的只有一次机会遇到,找遇到机会最少的  
  4. //这道题就是类似于在一个图上进行最小覆盖,点就是整数点,每次走三步。为了在最后少花力气,就从远方走,这样  
  5. //可以使近点获得最多的附加。远点可以尽快归0 
每次将最右边的两次先去了,所以删除的次数count=max(a[i],a[i-1]
