An
equal sum partition of a sequence of numbers is a grouping of the numbers (in the same order as the original sequence) in such a way that each group has the same sum. For example, the sequence:
2 5 1 3 3 7
may be grouped as:
(2 5) (1 3 3) (7)
to yield an equal sum of 7.
Note: The partition that puts all the numbers in a single group is an equal sum partition with the sum equal to the sum of all the numbers in the sequence.
For this problem, you will write a program that takes as input a sequence of positive integers and returns the smallest sum for an equal sum partition of the sequence.

may be grouped as:

to yield an equal sum of 7.
