Canadian Computing Competition: 2022 Stage 1, Senior #5
There are
students in a computer science class, with distinct student IDs ranging
from
to
. There are
friendships amongst the students, with the
being between
students
and
and
. Each pair of students in
the class are either friends or socially connected. A pair of students
and

The CCC has allocated some funds to pay some students to be influencers for the CCC.
The CCC will repeatedly choose one student who intends to write the CCC, pay them
dollars, and ask them to deliver a seminar to all of their friends, and then all of their friends
will intend to write the CCC.
Help the CCC determine the minimum cost required to have all of the students intend to write the CCC.
