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:
- Choose any one of the 16 pieces.
- Flip the chosen piece and also all adjacent pieces to the left, to the right, to the top, and to the bottom of the chosen piece (if there are any).
Consider the following position as an example:
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

题目中棋盘一共有16个格子,每个格子有白和黑两种情况,可知枚举最多有2^16种可能。
所以说事实上每个格子最多只需要一次操作,因为重复两次操作会得到原来的状态,所以最多只需走16步。
可以分16步深搜状态树,直到得到题目所要求的状态,最后输出树的深度,如果超过16步则没有解。
也可以用一个16位的整数来表示棋盘的状态,用异或运算(^)来更新状态,再用一个标志数组来保存某个状态是否已经出现过。
然后用bfs思想将状态存入队列中,如果已经是题目要求的状态,则输出达到该状态所要走的步数,
这里可以用一个新的数组来保存达到每个状态的步数。如果不是要求的状态,且是新的状态,则加入数组。
因为状态数是一定的,所以如果该棋盘没有解,则到最后所有的状态都标志完,队列一定会为空,
此时跳出循环输出Impossible。
