Need help solving a problem

Name: Anonymous 2010-10-03 15:59

Hey

I really need help on my programming assignment. I’ve been thinking about it for hours and just can’t come up with an algorithm to solve it. It’s a mind fuck. Whatever I think of doesn’t work. I also have to give it away in 2 hours.

Here it is:

There are n (1 ≤ n ≤ 100) sheets of paper with various dimensions. Every sheet is divided by 2 lines into 4 rectangular parts. The dimensions (length and width) for those 4 parts are known (entered via console). Find the dimensions of each sheet of paper.

All numbers are integers.

E.g.

From keyboard:
1                  // one sheet of paper
3 2 8 3 7 2 8 7    // dimensions for each part. Part1 would be three units long and two units wide ; etc…

Answer:
10 10

>>8
If that is the case how do I know which ones are the width and which ones are the height? I could make a 5x15 rectangle with the dimensions given (e.g. [2 7], [2 8], [3 7], [3 8]).
