Biased Standings

DescriptionUsually, results of competitions are based on the scores of participants.
However, we are planning a change for the next year of IPSC.
During the registration each team will be able to enter a single positive
integer – their preferred place in the ranklist.
We would take all these preferences into account, and
at the end of the competition we will simply announce a ranklist
that would please all of you.
But wait... How would that ranklist look like if it won't be possible
to satisfy all the requests?
Suppose that we already have a ranklist.
For each team, compute the distance between their preferred place
and their place in the ranklist. The sum of these distances will be
called the badness of this ranklist.
Given team names and their preferred placements find one ranklist
with the minimal possible badness.
InputThe first line contains N – the number of teams
participating in the competition.
Each of the next N lines contains a team name (a string of letters and numbers)
and its preferred place (an integer between 1 and N, inclusive).
No two team names will be equal.
OutputFor each of the test cases output a single line with a single integer –
the badness of the best ranklist for the given teams.
