Four players want to play a game of cards. There are N cards with them. They can only play a game if they can distribute the cards equally to each other. They follow a special way of distributing cards.

Consider the following distribution method:

  1. Every other card is given to respective player.

  2. The remaining cards are then shuffled by reversing.

  3. If there’s any cards left, start from step 1 until there’s none left.

For the ease of understanding let’s name our players “Player 1 , Player 2 , Player 3 , Player 4”.

Now you are asked to write a program that will distribute the cards to each player as mentioned above and print the hands of each player.

Input

The number of cards (N) is not less than 4 and not more than 52.
N will be taken as input in the first line.
N is a multiple of 4. N has to be a multiple of 4 because else they can’t equally distribute cards among them. In that case the game is forfeit.
A deck of cards have 4 types of cards. They are Spades, Clubs, Hearts and Diamonds. Let’s consider Spades, Clubs, Hearts and Diamonds as S , C , H and D. Each type of cards have 13 different cards, they are Ace, King, Queen, Jack and number cards from 2 to 10. Consider Ace, King, Queen, Jack as A, K, Q, J.
Your program will take card names as input as followed (card name-card type). EG: A-S (Which means Ace of Spades.)

Output

Print distributed cards among the players as shown in the sample output.
