The CE digital company has built an Automatic Painting Machine (APM) to paint a flat board fully covered by adjacent non-overlapping rectangles of different sizes each with a predefined color.
To color the board, the APM has access to a set of brushes. Each brush has a distinct color C. The APM picks one brush with color C and paints all possible rectangles having predefined color C with the following restrictions:
To avoid leaking the paints and mixing colors, a rectangle can only be painted if all rectangles immediately above it have already been painted. For example rectangle labeled F in Figure 1 is painted only after rectangles C and D are painted. Note that each rectangle must be painted at once, i.e. partial painting of one rectangle is not allowed.
You are to write a program for APM to paint a given board so that the number of brush pick-ups is minimum. Notice that if one brush is picked up more than once, all pick-ups are counted.
