Description
Score : $600$ points
Problem Statement
There are $N$ piles of stones. The $i$-th pile has $A_i$ stones.
Aoki and Takahashi are about to use them to play the following game:
- Starting with Aoki, the two players alternately do the following operation:
- Operation: Choose one pile of stones, and remove one or more stones from it.
- When a player is unable to do the operation, he loses, and the other player wins.
When the two players play optimally, there are two possibilities in this game: the player who moves first always wins, or the player who moves second always wins, only depending on the initial number of stones in each pile.
In such a situation, Takahashi, the second player to act, is trying to guarantee his win by moving at least zero and at most $(A_1 - 1)$ stones from the $1$-st pile to the $2$-nd pile before the game begins.
If this is possible, print the minimum number of stones to move to guarantee his victory; otherwise, print -1
instead.
Constraints
- $2 \leq N \leq 300$
- $1 \leq A_i \leq 10^{12}$
Input
Input is given from Standard Input in the following format:
$N$ $A_1$ $\ldots$ $A_N$
Output
Print the minimum number of stones to move to guarantee Takahashi's win; otherwise, print -1
instead.
Sample Input 1
2 5 3
Sample Output 1
1
Without moving stones, if Aoki first removes $2$ stones from the $1$-st pile, Takahashi cannot win in any way.
If Takahashi moves $1$ stone from the $1$-st pile to the $2$-nd before the game begins so that both piles have $4$ stones, Takahashi can always win by properly choosing his actions.
Sample Input 2
2 3 5

-1
It is not allowed to move stones from the $2$-nd pile to the $1$-st.
Sample Input 3

It is not allowed to move all stones from the $1$-st pile.
