Round 1

Questions: We have three candies of different taste.

A candies of type 1, B candies of type 2, C candies of type 3.

We can perform the following operation any number of times:

Choose any two candies of different taste and turn them into candies of remaining taste. Suppose, we take candy of type 1 and type 2 then they will be converted to type 3.

Our goal is to ensure that all candies have the same taste. If this condition is not achievable, print -1; else print 'n', the minimum number of moves required to do so.

Input Format: The first line contains three space-separated integers denoting the Number of candies of type 1 (A), Number of Candies of Type 2 (B), and Number of candies of type 3 (C).

Output Format: Print n which is the minimum number of moves required if the goal is achievable. If the goal is not achievable, print -1.

Constraints: 1 <= A, B, C <= 10^8
