Problem Statement

There is a stack of NN cards, each of which has a non-negative integer written on it. The integer written on the ii-th card from the top is AiA_i.

Snuke will repeat the following operation until two cards remain:

  • Choose three consecutive cards from the stack.
  • Eat the middle card of the three.
  • For each of the other two cards, replace the integer written on it by the sum of that integer and the integer written on the card eaten.
  • Return the two cards to the original position in the stack, without swapping them.

Find the minimum possible sum of the integers written on the last two cards remaining.

Constraints

  • 2N182 \leq N \leq 18
  • 0Ai109(1iN)0 \leq A_i \leq 10^9 (1\leq i\leq N)
  • All values in input are integers.

Input

Input is given from Standard Input in the following format:

NN

A1A_1 A2A_2 ...... ANA_N

Output

Print the minimum possible sum of the integers written on the last two cards remaining.

We can minimize the sum of the integers written on the last two cards remaining by doing as follows:

  • Initially, the integers written on the cards are 33, 11, 44, and 22 from top to bottom.
  • Choose the first, second, and third card from the top. Eat the second card with 11 written on it, add 11 to each of the other two cards, and return them to the original position in the stack. The integers written on the cards are now 44, 55, and 22 from top to bottom.
  • Choose the first, second, and third card from the top. Eat the second card with 55 written on it, add 55 to each of the other two cards, and return them to the original position in the stack. The integers written on the cards are now 99 and 77 from top to bottom.
  • The sum of the integers written on the last two cards remaining is 1616.
