[USACO10OCT] Soda Machine G
Description
To meet the ever-growing demands of his () cows, Farmer John has bought them a new soda machine. He wants to figure out the perfect place to install the machine.
The field in which the cows graze can be represented as a one-dimensional number line. Cow grazes in the range (; ), where the range includes its endpoints, and FJ can place the soda machine at any integer point in the range . Since cows are extremely lazy and try to move as little as possible, each cow would like to have the soda machine installed within her grazing range.
Sadly, it is not always possible to satisfy every cow's desires. Thus FJ would like to know the largest number of cows that can be satisfied.
To demonstrate the issue, consider four cows with grazing ranges , , , and ; below is a schematic of their grazing ranges:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|-...
aaaaaaaaa
bbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbb
ccccc ddddddddddddddddddddd
As can be seen, the first, second, and fourth cows share the point , but the third cow's grazing range is disjoint. Thus, a maximum of cows can have the soda machine within their grazing range.
There are people who want to worship JZ. They do not know where JZ will appear, so each person has an activity range. As long as JZ appears within this range, that person can worship him. The great JZ certainly hopes that as many people as possible will worship him. However, JZ cannot be in multiple places at once and can choose only one position to appear. What is the maximum number of people who can worship him?
Input Format
- Line 1: A single integer .
- Lines : Line contains two space-separated integers and .
