Canadian Computing Competition: 2023 Stage 1, Senior #4
As the newly elected mayor of Kitchener, Alanna's first job is to improve the city's road plan.
Kitchener's current road plan can be represented as a collection of
To lower the city's annual spending, Alanna would like to minimize the plan's cost. However,
the city also requires that she minimizes travel distances between intersections and will reject
any plan that does not conform to those rules. Formally, for any pair of intersections

Explanation of Output for Sample Input
Here is a diagram of the intersections along with a valid road plan with minimum cost.
Each edge is labeled with a pair
It can be shown that we cannot create a cheaper plan that also respects the city's requirements.
Comments
It seems that it's possible for two intersections to have multiple roads connecting them and that the entire initial road plan does not have to be connected. I spent way too long trying to fix those...
