Description
Farmer John has been informed of the location of a fugitive cow and wants to
catch her immediately. He starts at a point N (0 ≤ N ≤ 100,000) on
a number line and the cow is at a point K (0 ≤ K ≤ 100,000) on the
same number line. Farmer John has two modes of transportation: walking and
teleporting.
* Walking: FJ can move from any point X to the points X - 1 or X + 1 in a single minute
* Teleporting: FJ can move from any point X to the point 2 × X in a single minute.
If the cow, unaware of its pursuit, does not move at all, how long does it take for Farmer John to retrieve it?
* Walking: FJ can move from any point X to the points X - 1 or X + 1 in a single minute
* Teleporting: FJ can move from any point X to the point 2 × X in a single minute.
If the cow, unaware of its pursuit, does not move at all, how long does it take for Farmer John to retrieve it?
