The Art Gallery Problem
Time Limit: 1.0 Seconds
Memory Limit: 65536K
In 1973, Klee posed a fascinating problem - the art gallery problem. Imagine an art gallery room whose floor plan can be modeled by a polygon of n vertices. Klee asked: How many stationary guards are needed to guard the room? Each guard is considered a fixed point that can see in every direction. Of course a guard cannot see through a wall of the room. An equivalent formulation is to ask how many point lights are needed to fully illuminate the room. To let you fully understand this problem, there are two points needed to explain in detail. Visibility
To make the notion of visibility precise, we say that point x can see point y (or y is visible to x) if and only if the closed segment xy is nowhere exterior to the polygon. Note that this definition permits the line-of-sight to have grazing contact with a vertex, as shown in the following figure.
A set of guards is said to cover a polygon if every point in the polygon is visible to some guard. Guards themselves do not block each other's visibility.
Max over Min Formulation
The phrase "how many" means that we need to find the maximum over all polygons of n vertices, of the minimum number of guards needed to cover the polygon.
For example, the following are two polygons of 12 vertices.
The first polygon needs at least three guards, but the second needs at least four guards. So the number of guards needed when n equals to 12 is at least 4.
You may think how hard this problem is, just like nuanran. But what's surprising is that the conclusion is very simple, it is just n/3, the integer part of n divided by 3.
Although it is such an easy job, nuanran still doesn’t want to do it himself. What a lazy guy! As an excellent student of Tianjin University, can you help him?
Input
The input will contain multiple test cases. Each test case contains a single line with a single integer n, the number of vertices of the polygon. (3 ≤ n ≤ 101000) The input will be terminated by the end of file.
Output
For each corresponding n, output a single line with the number of guards needed. Sample Input
