P1745 [CERC2016] Lost Logic
Description
Gustav is reading about *2-satisfiability*, a well known problem of assigning truth values to boolean
variables in order to satisfy a list of *constraints* — simple logical formulas involving two variables each.
We are using $n$ variables $x_1, x_2, \cdots , x_n$ that can take on values $0$ (false) and $1$ (true). A constraint is a
formula of the form $a\to b$ where both $a$ and $b$ are possibly negated variables. As usual, $\to$ denotes
logical implication: $a \to b$ is $0$ only when $a$ is $1$ and $b$ is $0$. The negation of variable $a$ is denoted by $!a$.
Given an assignment of values to variables, we say that the constraint is *satisfied* if it evaluates to $1$.
Gustav has constructed a list of constraints and correctly concluded that there are *exactly three* different
assignments of values to variables that satisfy all the constraints. Gustav has wrote down all three
assignments but has, unfortunately, lost the list of constraints.
Given three assignments of $n$ values to variables, find any list consisting of at most $500$ constrains such
that the three given assignments are the *only* assignments that satisfy all the constraints.
Input Format
The first line contains an integer $n (2 \leq n \leq 50)$ — the number of variables. Three lines follow, each
describing one assignment. The $k$-th line contains $n$ space-separated integers $v_1^k,v_2^k,\cdots,v_n^k$, where each $v_i^k$ is either $0$ or $1$ and denotes the value of the variable $x_i$ in the $k$-th assignment. All three assignments will be different.
Output Format
If there is no solution output a single line containing the integer $−1$.
Otherwise, the first line should contain an integer $m$ where $1 \leq m \leq 500$ — the number of constraints
in your solution. The $k$-th of the following $m$ lines should contain the $k$-th constraint. Each constraint
should be a string constructed according to the following rules:
- A *variable* is a string of the form “$\texttt{x}i$” where $i$ is an integer between $1$ and $n$ inclusive written
without leading zeros.
- A *literal* is a string consisting of a variable possibly preceded by the “$\texttt{!}$” character.
- A *constraint* is a string of the form “$a\texttt{ -> }b$” where both $a$ and $b$ are literals. The implication sign
consists of the “minus” character and the “greater-than” character and there is a single space
character both before and after the implication sign.
