Official algorithmic problem description and constraints.
You are given a binary string π of length π, consisting of zeros and ones. You can perform the following operation exactly once:
For example, if you apply the operation to the string 110001100110 with π=3, after the second step, the string will become 011001100110, and after the third step, it will become 001100110011.
A string π is called π-proper if two conditions are met:
For example, with π=3, the strings 000, 111000111, and 111000 are π-proper, while the strings 000000, 001100, and 1110000 are not.
You are given an integer π, which is a divisor of π. Find an integer π (1β€πβ€π) such that after performing the operation, the string π becomes π-proper, or determine that it is impossible. Note that if the string is initially π-proper, you still need to apply exactly one operation to it.
