Sticks

Description

George took sticks of the same length and cut them randomly until all parts became at most 50 units long. Now he wants to return sticks to the original state, but he forgot how many sticks he had originally and how long they were originally. Please help him and design a program which computes the smallest possible original length of those sticks. All lengths expressed in units are integers greater than zero.

Input

The input contains blocks of 2 lines. The first line contains the number of sticks parts after cutting, there are at most 64 sticks. The second line contains the lengths of those parts separated by the space. The last line of the file contains zero.

Output

The output should contains the smallest possible length of original sticks, one per line.

/*算法思想：
  我用DFS做的，先将所有的木棍从大到小排序，然后从最大的木棍开始枚举木棍能
  拼接的长度len，要是能拼接，退出循环，输出结果
  剪枝1：要是这跟木棍不能用来拼接，那么其他的和他长度相等的木棍也不能拼接
  剪枝2：不能找到一根长度为len的木棍，直接退出搜索，以后也不能找到了
