For a group of people, there is an idea that everyone
is equals to or less than 6 steps away from any other person in the group, by
way of introduction. So that a chain of "a friend of a friend" can be made to
connect any 2 persons and it contains no more than 7 persons.
For example,
if XXX is YYY’s friend and YYY is ZZZ’s friend, but XXX is not ZZZ‘s friend,
then there is a friend chain of length 2 between XXX and ZZZ. The length of a
friend chain is one less than the number of persons in the chain.
Note that
if XXX is YYY’s friend, then YYY is XXX’s friend. Give the group of people and
the friend relationship between them. You want to know the minimum value k,
which for any two persons in the group, there is a friend chain connecting them
and the chain‘s length is no more than k .
There are multiple cases.
For each case, there is
an integer N (2<= N <= 1000) which represents the number of people in the
group.
Each of the next N lines contains a string which represents the name
of one people. The string consists of alphabet letters and the length of it is
no more than 10.
Then there is a number M (0<= M <= 10000) which
represents the number of friend relationships in the group.
Each of the next
M lines contains two names which are separated by a space ,and they are friends.
Input ends with N = 0.
For each case, print the minimum value k in one line.
If the value of k is infinite, then print -1 instead.
