Official algorithmic problem description and constraints.
Chef has a unique way of cutting round pizzas. He starts by cutting the pizza in half, then into quarters, then eighths, and so on, always cutting through the center.
Below is an example of cuts made by Chef in sequential order:
Chef wants to cut pizza into π slices where π is always even.
Your task is to determine the number of pieces that will be smaller than the rest.
