Mini March Coding Challenge 2014
Esdeath is excited — she has information that Tatsumi will be appearing today in one of cities, conveniently labeled from to . The Prime Minister (Esdeath's boss) does not care much for the citizens, so there are only bidirectional roads connecting the cities, and all cities are connected to every other city by just one path. Because Esdeath does not want Tatsumi to escape unnoticed, she has brought her army in to wait for him. Esdeath's army has soldiers, and she would like to station the soldiers at of the cities such that no matter which city Tatsumi appears in, the minimum distance from any soldier to Tatsumi will be no greater than roads. As one of Esdeath's pets, you'll be rewarded if you can help her find the minimum value of — so do so, and quickly!
