Input Format
* Line 1: The integers N and C.
* Lines 2..1+N: Line i+1 contains the integers xi and yi.
Output Format
* Line 1: The minimum cost of a network of pipes connecting the
fields, or -1 if no such network can be built.
Explanation/Hint
INPUT DETAILS:
There are 3 fields, at locations (0,2), (5,0), and (4,3). The contractor
will only install pipes of cost at least 11.
OUTPUT DETAILS:
FJ cannot build a pipe between the fields at (4,3) and (5,0), since its
cost would be only 10. He therefore builds a pipe between (0,2) and (5,0)
at cost 29, and a pipe between (0,2) and (4,3) at cost 17.
