Six friends decide to share a big cake. Since all of them like the cake, they begin quarreling as to who
gets to rst cut and has a piece of the cake. One friend suggests that they blindfold a friend and
then choose from a well shufed set of cards numbered from one to six. You check and nd that this
method works as it should be simulating a fair throw of a die. You check by performing multiple
simultaneous trials of picking the cards blindfolding and throwing a die. You note that the number
shown by the method of picking up a card and throwing a real world die, sums up to a number
between 2 and 12. Which total would be likely to appear more often 8, 9 or 10?

Alok and Bhanu play the following min-max game. Given the expression N = 32 + X* ( Y – Z) ,where X,
Y and Z are variables representing single digits (0 to 9), Alok would like to maximize N while Bhanu
would like to minimize it. Towards this end, Alok chooses a single digit number and Bhanu substitutes
this for a variable of her choice (X, Y or Z). Alok then chooses the next value and Bhanu, the variable
to substitute the value. Finally Alok proposes the value for the remaining variable. Assuming both
play to their optimal strategies, the value of N at the end of the game would be

Alice and Bob play the following coins-on-a-stack game. 20 coins are stacked one above the other.
One of them is a special (gold) coin and the rest are ordinary coins. The goal is to bring the gold coin
to the top by repeatedly moving the topmost coin to another position in the stack. Alice starts and
the players take turns. A turn consists of moving the coin on the top to a position i below the top
coin (0 ≤ i ≤ 20). We will call this an i-move (thus a 0-move implies doing nothing). The proviso is
that an i-move cannot be repeated; for example once a player makes a 2-move, on subsequent
turns neither player can make a 2-move. If the gold coin happens to be on top when it’s a player’s
turn then the player wins the game. Initially, the gold coin is the third coin from the top. Then
In order to win, Alice’s rst move should be a 1 - move
In order to win, Alice’s rst move should be a 0 - move
In order to win, Alice’s rst move can be a 0 – move or 1- move
Alice has no winning strategy

The recent news that local hospitals have had to reroute seriously ill patients because the
community’s critical-care beds are full is worrisome. Earlier this week, four of the six local hospitals
ran out of space for the critically ill and had to turn people away. Federal law requires hospitals to
treat anyone who walks in. As a result of having to treat large numbers of uninsured patients, the
emergency rooms often become an economic drain on their hospitals. Doctors now want to set up
their own free-standing ambulatory surgical facilities and diagnostic centres. Critics contend this
would leave hospitals with less revenue and the same number of indigents to treat.
A bill was recently introduced to phase out the need for a "certicate of public need" for nonhospital-based facilities, provided those facilities met stringent regulations and requirements. This
would have made it easier to set up alternative facilities to help indigent patients. The nance
committee balked at the hefty price and killed the bill, another casualty of a failed legislative
session.
Unfortunately, the problem of access to medical care for those of limited means is not going to go
away anytime soon and, despite the well-intended regulations, too-full hospitals compromise
everyone’s welfare. Healthy competition with small neighbourhood surgical and diagnostic centres
may be what is necessary to help dampen rising medical costs. But under no circumstances should
the hospitals be forced to care for everybody without health insurance while competitors operate
free of the burden of caring for those unable to pay

would leave hospitals with less revenue and the same number of indigents to treat.
A bill was recently introduced to phase out the need for a "certicate of public need" for nonhospital-based facilities, provided those facilities met stringent regulations and requirements. This
would have made it easier to set up alternative facilities to help indigent patients. The nance
committee balked at the hefty price and killed the bill, another casualty of a failed legislative
session.
Unfortunately, the problem of access to medical care for those of limited means is not going to go
away anytime soon and, despite the well-intended regulations, too-full hospitals compromise
everyone’s welfare. Healthy competition with small neighbourhood surgical and diagnostic centres
may be what is necessary to help dampen rising medical costs. But under no circumstances should
the hospitals be forced to care for everybody without health insurance while competitors operate
free of the burden of caring for those unable to pay.

Instruction: Read the passage and the answer the question given below.
The recent news that local hospitals have had to reroute seriously ill patients because the
community’s critical-care beds are full is worrisome. Earlier this week, four of the six local hospitals
ran out of space for the critically ill and had to turn people away. Federal law requires hospitals to
treat anyone who walks in. As a result of having to treat large numbers of uninsured patients, the
emergency rooms often become an economic drain on their hospitals. Doctors now want to set up
their own free-standing ambulatory surgical facilities and diagnostic centres. Critics contend this
would leave hospitals with less revenue and the same number of indigents to treat.
A bill was recently introduced to phase out the need for a "certicate of public need" for nonhospital-based facilities, provided those facilities met stringent regulations and requirements. This
would have made it easier to set up alternative facilities to help indigent patients. The nance

Problem statement
«Polygon» is a system which allows to create programming tasks in a simple and professional way.
When you add a test to the problem, the corresponding form asks you for the test index. As in most
cases it is clear which index the next test will have, the system suggests the default value of the
index. It is calculated as the smallest positive integer which is not used as an index for some
previously added test.
You are to implement this feature. Create a program which determines the default index of the next
test, given the indexes of the previously added tests.
Input Format
The rst line contains one integer n — the amount of previously added tests. The second line
contains n distinct integers a1, a2, ..., an-indexes of these tests.
Constraints
(1 ≤ n ≤ 3000) (1 ≤ ai ≤ 3000)
Output Format
Output the required default value for the next test index.
Sample Input:
2
2 1
Sample Output:
3
PYTHON CODE:
print(min({*range(1,3002)}-{*map(int,[*open(0)][1].split())}))
