  1. For Bessie the cow’s birthday, Farmer John has given her free reign over one of his best fields to eat grass.
  2.  
  3. The field is covered in N patches of grass (1≤N≤1000), conveniently numbered 1…N, that each have a distinct quality value. If Bessie eats grass of quality Q, she gains Q units of energy. Each patch is connected to up to 10 neighboring patches via bi-directional paths, and it takes Bessie E units of energy to move between adjacent patches (1≤E≤1,000,000). Bessie can choose to start grazing in any patch she wishes, and she wants to stop grazing once she has accumulated a maximum amount of energy.
  4.  
  5. Unfortunately, Bessie is a picky bovine, and once she eats grass of a certain quality, she’ll never eat grass at or below that quality level again! She is still happy to walk through patches without eating their grass; in fact, she might find it beneficial to walk through a patch of high-quality grass without eating it, only to return later for a tasty snack.
  6.  
  7. Please help determine the maximum amount of energy Bessie can accumulate.
  8.  
  9. INPUT FORMAT (file buffet.in):
  10. The first line of input contains N and E. Each of the remaining N lines describe a patch of grass. They contain two integers Q and D giving the quality of the patch (in the range 1…1,000,000) and its number of neighbors. The remaining D numbers on the line specify the neighbors.
  11.  
  12. OUTPUT FORMAT (file buffet.out):
  13. Please output the maximum amount of energy Bessie can accumulate.
  14.  
  15. SAMPLE INPUT:
  16.  
  17. 5 2
  18. 4 1 2
  19. 1 3 1 3 4
  20. 6 2 2 5
  21. 5 2 2 5
  22. 2 2 3 4
  23.  
  24. SAMPLE OUTPUT:

  26. 7
  27.  
  28. Bessie starts at patch 4 gaining 5 units of energy from the grass there. She then takes the path to patch 5 losing 2 units of energy during her travel. She refuses to eat the lower quality grass at patch 5 and travels to patch 3 again losing 2 units of energy. Finally she eats the grass at patch 3 gaining 6 units of energy for a total of 7 energy.
  29.  
  30. Note tha the sample case above is different from test case 1 when you submit.
