Flip Game
Description
Flip game is played on a rectangular 4x4 field with two-sided pieces placed on each of its 16 squares. One side of each piece is white and the other one is black 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 their upper side from black to white and vice versa. The pieces to be flipped are chosen every round according to the following rules:
![]() bwbw wwww bbwb bwwb Here "b" denotes pieces lying their black side up and "w" denotes pieces lying their white side up. If we choose to flip the 1st piece from the 3rd row (this choice is shown at the picture), then the field will become: bwbw bwww wwwb wwwb The goal of the game is to flip either all pieces white side up or all pieces black side up. You are to write a program that will search for the minimum number of rounds needed to achieve this goal. Input
The input consists of 4 lines with 4 characters "w" or "b" each that denote game field position.
Output
Write to the output file a single integer number - the minimum number of rounds needed to achieve the goal of the game from the given position. If the goal is initially achieved, then write 0. If it's impossible to achieve the goal, then write the word "Impossible" (without quotes).
Sample Input bwwb bbwb bwwb bwww Sample Output 4 |
4*4的网格中有黑色和白色 现在需要翻转 翻一个格子 它的上下左右也翻转
现在需要通过翻转求出使用最少的次数使得格子中都是黑色或者白色
因为不知道目标状态是黑色还是白色 所以需要两次高斯消元 求出较小的值
