Description
Flip game is played on arectangular 4x4 field with two-sided pieces placed on each of its16 squares. One side of each piece is white and the other one isblack and each piece is lying either it's black or white side up.Each round you flip 3 to 5 pieces, thus changing the color of theirupper side from black to white and vice versa. The pieces to beflipped are chosen every round according to the followingrules:
- Choose any one of the 16 pieces.
- Flip the chosen piece and also all adjacent pieces tothe left, to the right, to the top, and to the bottom ofthe chosen piece (if there are any).(四周包括自己颜色全变)
Consider the following positionas an example:
bwbw
wwww
bbwb
bwwb
Here "b" denotes pieces lying their black side up and "w" denotespieces lying their white side up. If we choose to flip the 1stpiece from the 3rd row (this choice is shown at the picture), thenthe field will become:
bwbw
bwww
wwwb
wwwb
The goal of the game is to flip either all pieces white side up orall pieces black side up. You are to write a program that willsearch for the minimum number of rounds needed to achieve thisgoal.
Input
The input consists of 4 lineswith 4 characters "w" or "b" each that denote game fieldposition.
Output
Write to the output file asingle integer number - the minimum number of rounds needed toachieve the goal of the game from the given position. If the goalis initially achieved, then write 0. If it's impossible to achievethe goal, then write the word "Impossible" (without quotes).
Sample Input
bwwb
bbwb
bwwb
bwww
