Problem D
Ocean Currents
For a boat on a large body of water, strong currents can be dangerous, but with careful planning, they can be harnessed to help the boat reach its destination. Your job is to help in that planning.
At each location, the current flows in some direction. The captain can choose to either go with the flow of the current, using no energy, or to move one square in any other direction, at the cost of one energy unit. The boat always moves in one of the following eight directions: north, south, east, west, northeast, northwest, southeast, southwest. The boat cannot leave the boundary of the lake. You are to help him devise a strategy to reach the destination with the minimum energy consumption.
Input
The lake is represented as a rectangular grid. The first
line of input contains two integers
7 0 1 \|/ 6-*-2 /|\ 5 4 3
The line after the grid contains a single integer
Output
For each trip, output a line containing a single integer, the minimum number of energy units needed to get from the starting point to the destination.
