Score : $600$ points
Problem Statement
We have a connected undirected graph with $N$ vertices and $M$ edges, which is not necessarily simple.
Edge $i$ connects Vertex $A_i$ and Vertex $B_i$, and has a character $C_i$ written on it.
Let us make a string by choosing a path from Vertex $1$ to Vertex $N$ (possibly with repetitions of the same edge and vertex) and arrange the characters written on the edges in that path.
Determine whether this string can be a palindrome. If it can, find the minimum possible length of such a palindrome.
Constraints
- $2 \le N \le 1000$
- $1 \le M \le 1000$
- $1 \le A_i \le N$
- $1 \le B_i \le N$
- $C_i$ is a lowercase English letter.
- The given graph is connected.
Input
Input is given from Standard Input in the following format:
Output
If a palindrome can be made, print the minimum possible length of such a palindrome; otherwise, print -1

By traversing the edges in the order $1, 2, 3, 1, 2, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8$, we can make a string abcabbacba
, which is a palindrome.
It is impossible to make a shorter palindrome, so the answer is $10$.

3 4 b
4 4 a
5
By traversing the edges in the order $2, 3, 4, 5, 5$, we can make a string aabaa
, which is a palindrome.
Note that repetitions of the same edge and vertex are allowed.

-1
We cannot make a palindrome.
