The Fortified Forest
Once upon a time, in a faraway land, there lived a king. This king
owned a small collection of rare and valuable trees, which had been
gathered by his ancestors on their travels. To protect his trees from
thieves, the king ordered that a high fence be built around them. His
wizard was put in charge of the operation.
Alas, the wizard quickly noticed that the only suitable material
available to build the fence was the wood from the trees
themselves. In other words, it was necessary to cut down some trees in
order to build a fence around the remaining trees. Of course, to
prevent his head from being chopped off, the wizard wanted to minimize
the value of the trees that had to be cut. The wizard went to his
tower and stayed there until he had found the best possible solution
to the problem. The fence was then built and everyone lived happily
ever after.
You are to write a program that solves the problem the wizard faced.
Input
The input contains several test cases, each of which describes a
hypothetical forest. Each test case begins with a line containing a
single integer n, 2 <= n <= 15, the number of
trees in the forest. The trees are identified by consecutive integers
1 to n. Each of the subsequent n lines contains 4
integers xi, yi,
vi, li that describe a single
tree. (xi, yi) is the position
of the tree in the plane, vi is its value, and
li is the length of fence that can be built using
the wood of the tree. vi and
li are between 0 and 10,000.
The input ends with an empty test case (n = 0).
Output
For each test case, compute a subset of the trees such that, using the
wood from that subset, the remaining trees can be enclosed in a single
fence. Find the subset with minimum value. If more than one such
minimum-value subset exists, choose one with the smallest number of
trees. For simplicity, regard the trees as having zero diameter.
Display, as shown below, the test case numbers (1, 2, ...), the
identity of each tree to be cut, and the length of the excess fencing
(accurate to two fractional digits).
Display a blank line between test cases.
