Problem Statement
There are piles of stones. The -th pile has stones.
Aoki and Takahashi are about to use them to play the following game:
- Starting with Aoki, the two players alternately do the following operation:- Operation: Choose one pile of stones, and remove one or more stones from it.
- When a player is unable to do the operation, he loses, and the other player wins.
When the two players play optimally, there are two possibilities in this game: the player who moves first always wins, or the player who moves second always wins, only depending on the initial number of stones in each pile.
In such a situation, Takahashi, the second player to act, is trying to guarantee his win by moving at least zero and at most stones from the -st pile to the -nd pile before the game begins.
If this is possible, print the minimum number of stones to move to guarantee his victory; otherwise, print -1
instead.

Without moving stones, if Aoki first removes stones from the -st pile, Takahashi cannot win in any way.
If Takahashi moves stone from the -st pile to the -nd before the game begins so that both piles have stones, Takahashi can always win by properly choosing his actions.
