Google Code Jam '14 Round 1A Problem A - Charging Chaos
View as PDFShota the farmer has a problem. He has just moved into his newly built farmhouse, but it turns out that the outlets haven't been configured correctly for all of his devices. Being a modern farmer, Shota owns a large number of smartphones and laptops, and even owns a tablet for his favorite cow Wagyu to use. In total, he owns  different devices.
As these devices have different specifications and are made by a variety of companies, they each require a different electric flow to charge. Similarly, each outlet in the house outputs a specific electric flow. An electric flow can be represented by a string of 0s and 1s of length .
Shota would like to be able to charge all  of his devices at the same time. Coincidentally, there are exactly 
 outlets in his new house. In order to configure the electric flow from the outlets, there is a master control panel with 
 switches. The 
 switch flips the 
 bit of the electric flow from each outlet in the house. For example, if the electric flow from the outlets is:
Outlet 0: 10
Outlet 1: 01
Outlet 2: 11
Then flipping the second switch will reconfigure the electric flow to:
Outlet 0: 11
Outlet 1: 00
Outlet 2: 10
If Shota has a smartphone that needs flow 11 to charge, a tablet that needs flow 10 to charge, and a laptop that needs flow 00 to charge, then flipping the second switch will make him very happy!
Misaki has been hired by Shota to help him solve this problem. She has measured the electric flows from the outlets in the house, and noticed that they are all different. Decide if it is possible for Shota to charge all of his devices at the same time, and if it is possible, figure out the minimum number of switches that needs to be flipped, because the switches are big and heavy and Misaki doesn't want to flip more than what she needs to.
Input Specification
The first line of the input gives the number of test cases, . 
 test cases follow. Each test case consists of three lines. The first line contains two space-separated integers 
 and 
. The second line contains 
 space-separated strings of length 
, representing the initial electric flow from the outlets. The third line also contains 
 space-separated strings of length 
, representing the electric flow required by Shota's devices.
Output Specification
For each test case, output one line containing Case #x: y, where  is the case number (starting from 1) and 
 is the minimum number of switches to be flipped in order for Shota to charge all his devices. If it is impossible, 
 should be the string 
NOT POSSIBLE (without the quotes). Please note that our judge is not case-sensitive, but it is strict in other ways: so although not possible will be judged correct, any misspelling will be judged wrong. We suggest copying/pasting the string NOT POSSIBLE into your code.

Sample Output
Case #1: 1
Case #2: NOT POSSIBLE
Case #3: 0
Explanation for Sample
In the first example case, Misaki can flip the second switch once. The electric flow from the outlets becomes:
Outlet 0: 00
Outlet 1: 10
Outlet 2: 11
Then Shota can use the outlet 0 to charge device 1, the outlet 1 to charge device 2, outlet 2 to charge device 0. This is also a solution that requires the minimum amount number of switches to be flipped.
Note
This problem has different time limits for different batches. If you exceed the Time Limit for any batch, the judge will incorrectly display >120.000s regardless of the actual time taken. Refer to the Limits section for batch-specific time limits.
