Problem Statement
翻译中…
You are given a sequence of $N$ positive integers: $A=(A_1,A_2, \dots A_N)$. You can do the operation below zero or more times. At least how many operations are needed to make $A$ a palindrome?
翻译中…
- Choose a pair
$(x,y)$of positive integers, and replace every occurrence of$x$in$A$with$y$.
翻译中…
Here, we say $A$ is a palindrome if and only if $A_i=A_{N+1-i}$ holds for every $i$ ($1 \le i \le N$).

样例
Input #1
8
1 5 3 2 5 2 3 1
Output #1
2
- Initially, we have $A=(1,5,3,2,5,2,3,1)$.
- After replacing every occurrence of $3$ in $A$ with $2$, we have $A=(1,5,2,2,5,2,2,1)$.
- After replacing every occurrence of $2$ in $A$ with $5$, we have $A=(1,5,5,5,5,5,5,1)$.
In this way, we can make $A$ a palindrome in two operations, which is the minimum needed.
Input #2

$A$ may already be a palindrome in the beginning.
