[USACO15DEC] High Card Low Card G

题目描述

Bessie the cow is a huge fan of card games, which is quite surprising, given her lack of opposable thumbs. Unfortunately, none of the other cows in the herd are good opponents. They are so bad, in fact, that they always play in a completely predictable fashion! Nonetheless, it can still be a challenge for Bessie to figure out how to win.

Bessie and her friend Elsie are currently playing a simple card game where they take a deck of 2N2N cards, conveniently numbered 12N1…2N, and divide them into NN cards for Bessie and NN cards for Elsie. The two then play NN rounds, where in each round Bessie and Elsie both play a single card. In the first N/2N/2 rounds, the player with the highest card earns a point, and in the last N/2N/2 rounds, the rules switch and the player who plays the lowest card wins a point.

Given that Bessie can predict the order in which Elsie will play her cards, please determine the maximum number of points Bessie can win.

输入格式

The first line of input contains the value of NN (2N50,0002 ≤ N ≤ 50,000; N will be even).

The next NN lines contain the cards that Elsie will play in each of the successive rounds of the game. Note that it is easy to determine Bessie's cards from this information.

输出格式

Output a single line giving the maximum number of points Bessie can score.

题目大意

2N2N 张牌,它们的点数分别为 112N2N 。Bessie 拿了其中的 NN 张,Elsie 拿了剩下的 NN 张。
Bessie 和 Elsie 会进行 NN 轮游戏,在每轮游戏中,Bessie 和 Elsie 各出一张牌。出了的牌不能收回。
在前 N/2N/2 轮中,谁的牌点数大谁就赢;在后 N/2N/2 轮中,谁的牌点数小谁就赢。
已知 Elsie 每一轮会出什么牌,试求 Bessie 最多能赢多少轮。 2N50000,2≤N≤50000, 保证 NN 是偶数。

提示

Here, Bessie must have cards 2, 5, and 6, and 7 in her hand, and she can use these to win at most 2 points, by saving her '2' card until one of the hands in the second half of the game.
