There are points on a number line. Point is located at coordinate .
For each point , you must choose a closed interval with integer endpoints. The length of this interval must be exactly , and it must contain the point located at coordinate . In other words, and must both hold.
For a real number , define its density as the number of intervals whose interior contains :
Notice that the endpoints of an interval are not counted. For example, the intervals and do not overlap according to this definition.
A choice of intervals is called valid if for every real number .
For a valid choice, let . Find the minimum possible value of . If no valid choice of intervals exists, output .
Output one integer: the minimum possible value of , or if no valid choice exists.
Choose the intervals , , and . Their maximum right endpoint is , and the density never exceeds .
Every interval corresponding to the point at coordinate has right endpoint at least , so a smaller answer is impossible.
An interval of length with integer endpoints that contains coordinate must be either or . At most two chosen intervals can have each of these interiors, so five intervals cannot be placed validly.
Use two identical groups of intervals: , , and . Each group has disjoint interiors, so together the density is at most and the maximum right endpoint is .
The total length of all intervals is . Since all intervals lie between and and the density is at most , their total length cannot exceed . Therefore, cannot be smaller than .
