PAT 1077. Kuchiguse (20)

The Japanese language is notorious for its sentence ending particles. Personal preference of such particles can be considered as a reflection of the speaker's personality. Such a preference is called "Kuchiguse" and is often exaggerated artistically in Anime and Manga. For example, the artificial sentence ending particle "nyan~" is often used as a stereotype for characters with a cat-like personality:

• Itai nyan~ (It hurts, nyan~)
• Ninjin wa iyada nyan~ (I hate carrots, nyan~)

  Now given a few lines spoken by the same character, can you find her Kuchiguse?

  Input Specification:

  Each input file contains one test case. For each case, the first line is an integer N (2<=N<=100). Following are N file lines of 0~256 (inclusive) characters in length, each representing a character's spoken line. The spoken lines are case sensitive.

  Output Specification:

  For each test case, print in one line the kuchiguse of the character, i.e., the longest common suffix of all N lines. If there is no such suffix, write "nai".

  Sample Input 1:

  3
  Itai nyan~
  Ninjin wa iyadanyan~
  uhhh nyan~
  

  Sample Output 1:

  nyan~
  

  Sample Input 2:

  3
  Itai!
  Ninjinnwaiyada T_T
  T_T
  

  Sample Output 2:

  nai
