#P2980. [USACO10FEB] Covering the Corral G
[USACO10FEB] Covering the Corral G
Description
The cows are so modest that they want Farmer John to install covers around the circular corral where they occasionally gather. The corral has circumference with , and FJ can choose from a set of covers with , each with a fixed starting point and size. It is guaranteed that at least one set of covers can surround the entire corral.
Cover can be installed at integer location (the distance from the starting point around the corral) with , and has integer length with .
FJ wants to minimize the number of segments he must install. What is the minimum number of segments required to cover the entire circumference of the corral?
Consider a corral of circumference , shown below as a pair of connected line segments where both '0's are the same point on the corral (as are both 1's, 2's, and 3's).
Three potential covering segments are available for installation:
Start Length
i x_i l_i
1 0 1
2 1 2
3 3 3
0 1 2 3 4 0 1 2 3 ...

As shown, installing segments 2 and 3 covers an extent of (at least) five units around the circumference. FJ has no trouble with overlap, so do not worry about that.
Input Format
- Line 1: Two space-separated integers and .
- Lines : Line contains two space-separated integers and .
Output Format
- Line 1: A single integer, the minimum number of segments required to cover the entire circumference of the corral.
