Problem

Several villages lie in a row along a straight highway. The highway has no junctions, so all villages sit in order on a single line.

If you know the distances between neighbouring villages, you can compute the distance between any two villages. For example, if five villages A, B, C, D, E lie in a row and the neighbouring distances are given, you can build the full table of pairwise distances — N(N−1)/2N(N-1)/2 of them in total.

Now consider the reverse: given all N(N−1)/2N(N-1)/2 pairwise distances, write a program that determines the order of the villages and recovers the N−1N-1 distances between neighbouring villages. Several arrangements may produce the same set of distances; in that case you must find all of them.

Input

The input consists of several test cases. The first line of each test case contains the number of villages NN (2≤N≤202 \le N \le 20). It is followed by the N(N−1)/2N(N-1)/2 pairwise distances, given as integers separated by spaces or newlines in non-increasing (descending) order. Each distance is a natural number between 11 and 400400 inclusive, and the largest distance is the one between the leftmost and the rightmost village.

The last line contains a single 00, which marks the end of the input.

Output

For each test case, print the N−1N-1 distances between neighbouring villages, separated by spaces. If several answers exist, regard each answer as a sequence of distances, sort the sequences lexicographically, and print them all, one per line. If no answer is possible, print nothing. After printing all answers of a test case, print ----- on its own line.
