Task Scheduling


Problem Statement :


You have a long list of tasks that you need to do today. To accomplish task  you need  minutes, and the deadline for this task is . You need not complete a task at a stretch. You can complete a part of it, switch to another task, and then switch back.

You've realized that it might not be possible to complete all the tasks by their deadline. So you decide to do them in such a manner that the maximum amount by which a task's completion time overshoots its deadline is minimized.

Input Format

The first line contains the number of tasks, . Each of the next  lines contains two integers,  and .

Output Format

Output  lines. The  line contains the value of the maximum amount by which a task's completion time overshoots its deadline, when the first  tasks on your list are scheduled optimally. See the sample input for clarification.

Self Balancing Tree

An AVL tree (Georgy Adelson-Velsky and Landis' tree, named after the inventors) is a self-balancing binary search tree. In an AVL tree, the heights of the two child subtrees of any node differ by at most one; if at any time they differ by more than one, rebalancing is done to restore this property. We define balance factor for each node as : balanceFactor = height(left subtree) - height(righ

You can change the height of a stack by removing and discarding its topmost cylinder any number of times. Find the maximum possible height of the stacks such that all of the stacks are exactly the same height. This means you must remove zero or more cylinders from the top of zero or more of
