ICPC NAQ 2016 H - Nine Packs
View as PDFICPC North America Qualifier 2016, Problem H

"It's like how hot dogs come in packs of ten, and buns come in packs of eight or twelve — you have to buy nine packs to make it come out even."
This is a quote from the 1986 movie, "True Stories", and it's true; well, almost true. You could buy four packs of  hotdogs and five packs of 
 buns. That would give you exactly 
 of each. However, you can make things even with fewer packs if you buy two packs of 
 hotdogs, along with a pack of 
 buns and another pack of 
 buns. That would give you 
 of each, using only 
 total packs.
For this problem, you'll determine the fewest packs you need to buy to make hotdogs and buns come out even, given a selection of different bun and hotdog packs available for purchase.
Input Specification
The first input line starts with an integer, , the number of hotdog packs available. This is followed by 
 integers, 
, the number of hotdogs in each pack. The second input line starts with an integer, 
, giving the number of bun packs available. This is followed by 
 integers, 
, indicating the number of buns in each pack. The values 
 and 
 are between 
 and 
, inclusive, and the sizes of the packs are between 
 and 
, inclusive. Every available pack is listed individually. For example, if there were five eight-bun packs available for purchase, the list of bun packs would contain five copies of the number eight.
Output Specification
If it's not possible to purchase an equal number of one or more hotdogs and buns, just output impossible. Otherwise, output the smallest number of total packs you can buy (counting both hotdog and bun packs) to get exactly the same number of hotdogs and buns.
