A New Year party is not a New Year party without lemonade! As usual, you are expecting a lot of guests, and buying lemonade has already become a pleasant necessity.
Your favorite store sells lemonade in bottles of n different volumes at different costs. A single bottle of type i has volume 2i - 1 liters and costs ci roubles. The number of bottles of each type in the store can be considered infinite.
You want to buy at least L liters of lemonade. How many roubles do you have to spend?
Input
The first line contains two integers n and L (1 ≤ n ≤ 30; 1 ≤ L ≤ 109) — the number of types of bottles in the store and the required amount of lemonade in liters, respectively.
The second line contains n integers c1, c2, ..., cn (1 ≤ ci ≤ 109) — the costs of bottles of different types.
Output
Output a single integer — the smallest number of roubles you have to pay in order to buy at least L liters of lemonade.

Note
In the first example you should buy one 8-liter bottle for 90 roubles and two 2-liter bottles for 30 roubles each. In total you'll get 12 liters of lemonade for just 150 roubles.
In the second example, even though you need only 3 liters, it's cheaper to buy a single 8-liter bottle for 10 roubles.
In the third example it's best to buy three 1-liter bottles for 10 roubles each, getting three liters for 30 roubles.
题意：第 i 种柠檬水可以装 2 的 i-1 次方升柠檬水花费 ci 卢布。商店里每种类型的瓶子数量都可以被认为是无限的。 你想买至少l升柠檬水。你最少要花多少卢布？
思路：比赛时没做出来，感觉是贪心，可是不会写。。。
题解：
Note that if 2·ai ≤ ai + 1, then it doesn't make sense to buy any bottles of type i + 1 — it won't ever be worse to buy two bottles of type i instead. In this case let's assume that we actually have an option to buy a bottle of type i + 1 at the cost of 2·ai and replaceai + 1 with min(ai + 1, 2·ai). Let's do this for all i from 1 to n - 1 in increasing order.
Now for all i it's true that 2·ai ≥ ai + 1. Note that now it doesn't make sense to buy more than one bottle of type i if i < n. Indeed, in this case it won't ever be worse to buy a bottle of type i + 1 instead of two bottles of type i. From now on, we'll only search for options where we buy at most one bottle of every type except the last one.
Suppose that we had to buy exactly L liters of lemonade, as opposed to at least L. Note that in this case the last n - 1 bits of Luniquely determine which bottles of types less than n we have to buy. Indeed, if L is odd, then we have to buy a bottle of type 0, otherwise we can't do that. By the same line of thought, it's easy to see that bit j in the binary representation of L is responsible for whether we should buy a bottle of type j. Finally, we have to buy exactly ⌊ L / 2n - 1⌋ bottles of type n.
But what to do with the fact that we're allowed to buy more than L liters? Suppose we buy M > L liters. Consider the highest bit j in which M and L differ. Since M > L, the j-th bit in M is 1, and the j-th bit in L is 0. But then all bits lower than the j-th in M are 0 in the optimal answer, since these bits are responsible for the "extra" bottles — those for which we spend money for some reason, but without which we would still have M > L.
Thus, here is the overall solution. Loop over the highest bit j in which M differs from L. Form the value of M, taking bits higher than the j-th from L, setting the j-th bit in M to 1, and bits lower than the j-th to 0. Calculate the amount of money we have to pay to buy exactly M liters of lemonade. Take the minimum over all j.
The complexity of the solution is O(n) or O(n2), depending on the implementation.
