Description

A group of N travelers (1 ≤ N ≤ 50) has approached an old and shabby bridge and wishes to cross the river as soon as possible. However, there can be no more than two persons on the bridge at a time. Besides it's necessary to light the way with a torch for safe crossing but the group has only one torch.

Each traveler needs t_i seconds to cross the river on the bridge; i=1, ... , N (t_i are integers from 1 to 100). If two travelers are crossing together their crossing time is the time of the slowest traveler.

The task is to determine minimal crossing time for the whole group.

Input

The input consists of two lines: the first line contains the value of N and the second one contains the values of t_i (separated by one or several spaces).

Output

The output contains one line with the result.

Sample Input

4
6 7 6 5

Sample Output

29

 思路：

      n==1时，直接输出答案

      n==2时，输出最大值

      n==3时，输出三者和

      n>=4时，两种策略，均转化成4人时的情形求最优解。设4人过河速度为A<B<C<D，那么有两种策略：

      先AB过，A回，CD过，B回，即temp=A+2*B+D

      先AD过，A回，再AC过，A回，即temp=2*A+C+D（忘了这种情况）

然后取其中的最小值即可。也就是说，在2*B<A+C时选方案1，否则选方案2.
