HDU Problem - 1455 Sticks

题目链接

Problem Description

George took sticks of the same length and cut them randomly until all parts became at most 50 units long. Now he wants to return sticks to the original state, but he forgot how many sticks he had originally and how long they were originally. Please help him and design a program which computes the smallest possible original length of those sticks. All lengths expressed in units are integers greater than zero.

Input

The input contains blocks of 2 lines. The first line contains the number of sticks parts after cutting, there are at most 64 sticks. The second line contains the lengths of those parts separated by the space. The last line of the file contains zero.

Output

The output file contains the smallest possible length of original sticks, one per line.

Sample Output

• 剪枝的运用
• 首先从最长的木棒枚举，满足木棒总和是枚举木棒的倍数
• 然后dfs看能否把所有木棒用完，如果用完就找到了一个最小的合适值
• 开始剪枝
• 如果进行一系列的搜索之后，发现当前这个木棒未完成匹配，而且当前所要匹配的是整个目标，这就不用接着往下dfs
  举个例子：木棒分别是 6 5 5 3 2 2， 你要找6， 第一个可以，接着匹配下一个6，找到5时发现没有匹配的这时候直接退出就行，说明6不能构成完整的
