Problem 1. Cowntagion
Farmer John and his fellow farmers have been working nonstop to control the spread of the terrible bovine disease COWVID-19 across their farms.
Together, they oversee a collection of NN farms (1≤N≤1051≤N≤105), conveniently numbered 1…N1…N. The farms are connected by a set of N−1N−1 roads such that any farm can be reached from farm 1 by some sequence of roads.
Unfortunately, a cow in farm 1 has just tested positive for COWVID-19. None of the other cows at that farm or at any other farms have the disease yet. However, knowing the contagious nature of the disease, Farmer John anticipates exactly one of the following adverse events on each successive day:
(1) In a single farm, a "superspreader" event causes the number of cows at that farm with COWVID-19 to double; or
(2) A single cow with COWVID-19 moves along a road from one farm to an adjacent farm.
Farmer John is worried about how fast the outbreak might spread. Please help him by determining the minimum possible number of days before it could be the case that at least one cow in every farm has the disease.
INPUT FORMAT (input arrives from the terminal / stdin):
The first line contains the single integer NN. The next N−1N−1 lines each contain two space-separated integers aa and bb describing a road between farms aa and bb. Both aa and bb are
