Solution

First, let's calculate the points for each team:

Team A: Wins 6 matches, which gives them 65 = 30 points. They have half as many draws, which means they have 3 draws. This gives them 33 = 9 points. The rest of the matches they lose, which means they lose 12 - 6 - 3 = 3 matches. This gives them 3*1 = 3 points. So, Team A has a total of 30 + 9 + 3 = 42 points.

Team B: Wins as many matches as Team A loses, which means they win 3 matches. This gives them 35 = 15 points. All the rest of their matches are draws, which means they have 12 - 3 = 9 draws. This gives them 93 = 27 points. So, Team B has a total of 15 + 27 = 42 points.

Team C: Loses 10 matches, which gives them 101 = 10 points. Wins the rest, which means they win 12 - 10 = 2 matches. This gives them 25 = 10 points. So, Team C has a total of 10 + 10 = 20 points.

Team D: Loses 10 matches, which gives them 101 = 10 points. Draws the rest, which means they have 12 - 10 = 2 draws. This gives them 23 = 6 points. So, Team D has a total of 10 + 6 = 16 points.

Team E: Wins 1 more match than Team A, which means they win 6 + 1 = 7 matches. This gives them 75 = 35 points. Draws 2 matches, which gives them 23 = 6 points. Loses the rest, which means they lose 12 - 7 - 2 = 3 matches. This gives them 3*1 = 3 points. So, Team E has a total of 35 + 6 + 3 = 44 points.

Therefore, Team E wins the prize as they have the most points.

A total of 11 teams participated in a hockey tournament in which every team played exactly one match with every other team. In any match, a team gets four points for a win, three points for a draw and two points for a loss. The total score of no two teams was the same at the end of the tournament. If the number of points of the team with the highest total score is 35, then which of the following could be the number of points of the team with the least total score?

Three friends gathered to play a few games of chess together.In every game, two of them play against each other. The winner gets 22 points while the loser gets 00, and in case of a draw, both players get 11 point each. Note that the same pair of players could have played any non-negative number of times (possibly zero). It is also possible that no games were played at all.You've been told that their scores after all the games were played were p1𝑝1, p2𝑝2 and p3𝑝3. Additionally, it is guaranteed that p1≤p2≤p3𝑝1≤𝑝2≤𝑝3 holds.Find the maximum number of draws that could have happened and print it. If there isn't any way to obtain p1𝑝1, p2𝑝2 and p3𝑝3 as a result of a non-negative number of games between the three players, print −1−1 instead.InputEach test contains multiple test cases. The first line contains the number of test cases t𝑡 (1≤t≤5001≤𝑡≤500). The description of the test cases follows.The first line of each test case contains three integers p1𝑝1, p2𝑝2 and p3𝑝3 (0≤p1≤p2≤p3≤300≤𝑝1≤𝑝2≤𝑝3≤30) — the scores of the three players, sorted non-decreasingly.OutputFor each testcase, print one number — the maximum possible number of draws that could've happened, or −1−1 if the scores aren't consistent with any valid set of games and results.ExampleinputCopy70 0 00 1 11 1 11 1 23 3 33 4 51 1 10outputCopy01-12-162NoteIn the first example, no games were played at all, so no draws could occur either.For the second example, exactly one game occurred between the second and the third player and it ended in draw, so the answer is 11.It's easy to see that there's no set of games achieving the scores in third example, so the answer for it is −1−1.
