Description

Graph algorithms form a very important part of computer science and have a lineage that goes back at least to Euler and the famous Seven Bridges of Konigsberg problem. Many optimization problems involve determining efficient methods for reasoning about graphs.


This problem involves determining a route for a postal worker so that all mail is delivered while the postal worker walks a minimal distance, so as to rest weary legs.
Given a sequence of streets (connecting given intersections) you are to write a program that determines the minimal cost tour that traverses every street at least once. The tour must begin and end at the same intersection.


The ``real-life'' analogy concerns a postal worker who parks a truck at an intersection and then walks all streets on the postal delivery route (delivering mail) and returns to the truck to continue with the next route.


The cost of traversing a street is a function of the length of the street (there is a cost associated with delivering mail to houses and with walking even if no delivery occurs).


In this problem the number of streets that meet at a given intersection is called the degree of the intersection. There will be at most two intersections with odd degree. All other intersections will have even degree, i.e., an even number of streets meeting at that intersection.

Input

The input consists of a sequence of one or more postal routes. A route is composed of a sequence of street names (strings), one per line, and is terminated by the string ``deadend'' which is NOT part of the route. The first and last letters of each street name specify the two intersections for that street, the length of the street name indicates the cost of traversing the street. All street names will consist of lowercase alphabetic characters.


For example, the name foo indicates a street with intersections f and o of length 3, and the name computer indicates a street with intersections c and r of length 8. No street name will have the same first and last letter and there will be at most one street directly connecting any two intersections. As specified, the number of intersections with odd degree in a postal route will be at most two. In each postal route there will be a path between all intersections, i.e., the intersections are connected.

Output

For each postal route the output should consist of the cost of the minimal tour that visits all streets at least once. The minimal tour costs should be output in the order corresponding to the input postal routes.

思路：每个字符串表示两个点以及这两个点之间的距离，字符串的都是小写字母，字符串的第一个字母和最后一个字母表示点，字符串的长度表示两点之间的距离（两点之间的距离没有方向），没有重边。同时，这些点里面，最多只有两个点的度为奇数，其余全部为偶数。求遍历所有点所经过的最少路径。在体重只有两种情况：1.所有点的度数都是偶数。2.所有点中度数为奇数的度数恰好两个（因为每条边产生2度，所以所有度的总和一定是偶数，所以不会出现一个奇度点）。在第1中情况中，这个图刚好构成欧拉图，欧拉图经过所有边一次恰好能够遍历所有点，所以结果为所有边的和。在第2种情况中，这个图构成一个欧拉通路，如果将两个奇度点之间再人为的加上一条边，则构成了欧拉图，而这条边的长度就是这两个点之间的最短距离。
