The task is really simple: given N exits on a highway which forms a simple cycle, you are supposed to tell the shortest distance between any pair of exits.
Input Specification:
Each input file contains one test case. For each case, the first line contains an integer N (in [3]), followed by N integer distances D1 D2 ⋯ DN, where Di is the distance between the i-th and the (-st exits, and DN is between the N-th and the 1st exits. All the numbers in a line are separated by a space. The second line gives a positive integer M (≤), with M lines follow, each contains a pair of exit numbers, provided that the exits are numbered from 1 to N. It is guaranteed that the total round trip distance is no more than 1.
Output Specification:
For each test case, print your results in M lines, each contains the shortest distance between the corresponding given pair of exits.
