POJ：1753-Flip Game（二进制+bfs）

Flip Game

Time Limit: 1000MS Memory Limit: 65536K

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

题意就是给你一个4*4的图，要求你通过一定的翻转将图全改为b或者w。每次翻转一个点这个点的上下左右也会跟着翻转。问最少需要翻转多少次。
其实是一个很有意思的搜索题，因为每个点只有两种情况，所以可以把一个图看成一个二进制的数字，就可以使用位运算来模拟翻转，然后bfs，看到达目标数字需要的最少步骤。
