Inna loves sweets very much. That's why she decided to play a game called "Sweet Matrix".

Inna sees an n × m matrix and k candies. We'll index the matrix rows from 1 to n and the matrix columns from 1 to m. We'll represent the cell in the i-th row and j-th column as (i, j). Two cells (i, j) and (p, q) of the matrix are adjacent if |i - p| + |j - q| = 1. A path is a sequence of the matrix cells where each pair of neighbouring cells in the sequence is adjacent. We'll call the number of cells in the sequence the path's length.

Each cell of the matrix can have at most one candy. Initiallly, all the cells are empty. Inna is trying to place each of the k candies in the matrix one by one. For each candy Inna chooses cell (i, j) that will contains the candy, and also chooses the path that starts in cell (1, 1) and ends in cell (i, j) and doesn't contain any candies. After that Inna moves the candy along the path from cell (1, 1) to cell (i, j), where the candy stays forever. If at some moment Inna can't choose a path for the candy, she loses. If Inna can place all the candies in the matrix in the described manner, then her penalty equals the sum of lengths of all the paths she has used.

Help Inna to minimize the penalty in the game.
