Discussion of Problem 1029. Ministry

maybe a cornor case to help.

Think about this case If you use DP
2 2
1 1
0 0

when considering the elem 0 at [1, 0] , you can find the way from [0, 1] -> [1, 0] and [0, 1] -> [1, 1] -> [1, 0] have the same sum(both are 1), how to handle this situation ?
I handle this by giving the way from `ABOVE` higher priority, or else when printing the path to the answer, you wil get [1, 0] <- [1, 1] <- [1, 0] <- [1, 1] ....... which is WA.

and another thing to notice is you may need long long to hold.

hope it helps  :)
