Description
The 15-puzzle has been around for over 100 years; even if you don't know it by that name, you've seen it. It is constructed with 15 sliding tiles, each with a number from 1 to 15 on it, and all packed into a 4 by 4 frame with one tile missing. Let's call the missing tile 'x'; the object of the puzzle is to arrange the tiles so that they are ordered as:

1 2 3 4

5 6 7 8

9 10 11 12

13 14 15 x

where the only legal operation is to exchange 'x' with one of the tiles with which it shares an edge. As an example, the following sequence of moves solves a slightly scrambled puzzle:

1 2 3 4 1 2 3 4 1 2 3 4 1 2 3 4

5 6 7 8 5 6 7 8 5 6 7 8 5 6 7 8

9 x 10 12 9 10 x 12 9 10 11 12 9 10 11 12

13 14 11 15 13 14 11 15 13 14 x 15 13 14 15 x

r-> d-> r->

The letters in the previous row indicate which neighbor of the 'x' tile is swapped with the 'x' tile at each step; legal values are 'r','l','u' and 'd', for right, left, up, and down, respectively.

Not all puzzles can be solved; in 1870, a man named Sam Loyd was famous for distributing an unsolvable version of the puzzle, and
frustrating many people. In fact, all you have to do to make a regular puzzle into an unsolvable one is to swap two tiles (not counting the missing 'x' tile, of course).

In this problem, you will write a program for solving the less well-known 8-puzzle, composed of tiles on a three by three
arrangement. To simplify this problem, you should print the minimum steps only.

 

Input

You will receive a description of a configuration of the 8 puzzle. The description is just a list of the tiles in their initial positions, with the rows listed from top to bottom, and the tiles listed from left to right within a row, where the tiles are represented by numbers 1 to 8, plus 'x'. For example, this puzzle

1 2 3

x 4 6

7 5 8

is described by this list:

1 2 3 x 4 6 7 5 8

 

Output
You will print to standard output either the word ``unsolvable'', if the puzzle has no solution.Otherwise, output an integer which equals the minimum steps. If

 

Sample Input
1 2 x 4 5 3 7 8 6

 

Sample Output
2

 

Hint
Any violent algorithm may gain TLE. So a smart method is expected.
The data used in this problem is unofficial data prepared by hzhua. So any mistake here does not imply mistake in the offcial judge data.
