uva 10123 No Tipping
As Archimedes famously observed, if you put an object on a lever arm, it will exert a twisting force around the lever‘s fulcrum. This twisting is called torque and is equal to the object‘s weight multiplied by its distance from the fulcrum (the angle of
the lever also comes in, but that does not concern us here). If the object is to the left of the fulcrum, the direction of the torque is counterclockwise; if the object is to the right, the direction is clockwise. To compute the torque around a support, simply
sum all the torques of the individual objects on the lever.
The challenge is to keep the lever balanced while adjusting the objects on it. Assume you have a straight, evenly weighted board, 20 meters long and weighing three kilograms. The middle of the board is the center of mass, and we will call that position 0.
So the possible positions on the board range from -10 (the left end) to +10 (the right end). The board is supported at positions -1.5 and +1.5 by two equal fulcrums, both two meters tall and standing on a flat floor. On the board are six packages, at positions
-8, -4, -3, 2, 5 and 8, having weights of 4, 10, 10, 4, 7 and 8 kilograms, respectively as in the picture below.
Your job is to remove the packages one at a time in such a way that the board rests on both supports without tipping. The board would tip if the net torque around the left fulcrum (resulting from the weights of the packages and the board itself) were counterclockwise
or if the net torque around the right fulcrum were clockwise. A possible solution to this problem is: first remove the package at position -4, then the package at 8, then -8, then 5, then -3 and finally 2.
You are to write a program which solves problems like the one described above. The input contains multiple cases. Each case starts with three integers: the length of the board (in meters, at least 3), the weight of the board (in kilograms) and
n the number of packages on the board (n <= 20). The board is supported at positions -1.5 and +1.5 by two equal fulcrums, both two meters tall and standing on a flat floor. The following
n lines contain two integers each: the position of a package on board (in meters measured from the center, negative means to the left) and the weight of the package (in kilograms). A line containing three 0‘s ends the input. For each case you are to
output the number of the case in the format shown below and then n lines each containing 2 integers, the position of a package and its weight, in an order in which the packages can be removed without causing the board to tip. If there is no solution
for a case, output a single line Impossible. There is no solution if in the initial configuration the board is not balanced.

题目大意:在一块长L重量M的木板上放n个木块,下n行表示木块放的位置和木块的重量,开始木板是处于平衡的,每次拿下一个木块,直到木块全部被取下,期间要求木板不发生偏移,如果可以完全取下,就输出去下木块的顺序(情况不唯一),不能完全取下就输出Impossible。
解题思路:题目要求是在一块一块拿走的前提下保持平衡,这里采用逆向思维会使问题变得更简单----放木块,在保持平衡的基础上一块一块放上木块,先放中间,然后放左边,当左边出现不平衡,就放右边,右边出现不平衡就再回来放左边,这样不断循环,直到两边都无法再放,就判断木块是否放完。再放之前要对木块进行分类(左边和右边)和排序(力矩乘重量)。
