Problem Statement:

We will simulate a game where the goal is to kill the enemies by using a tower. You need to kill enemies as quickly as possible. At each turn, first you fire one time, then each enemy moves to the tower. If an enemy reaches the tower, you lose.

Input:

The first line is firing range. Each next line represents an enemy. First column, it’s the enemy name. The second column is the initial distance. And the last column is the speed.

Output:

A each turn, you will info the killed enemy.
At the end, you will inform if you win or lose and the count of played turn. In case of loss, calculate the minimal firing range to win the game agains same enemies.

Sample:

Sample Input

50m 
BotA 100m 10m
BotB 50m 20m
BotC 30m 20m

Sample Output

Firing range is 50m
Turn 1: Kill BotC at 30m
Turn 2: Kill BotB at 30m
Turn 6: Kill BotA at 50m
You win in 6 turns
