Thanks for your reply. However, I don't really understand your algorithm, so I tested it on the example below. Please tell me if I misunderstood you anywhere.
Suppose the edges given are 1, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5. There are 6 edges, which meansand sqrt(2 * 6) = 3 (I am assuming you take the floor of the number), and 3 * (3 + 1) = 12 = 2 * 6. Therefore, there is a possibility of a valid output. Then, you multiply the x smallest elements together. In this case, it is 1 * 1 * 2 = 2. Since 1 + 1 + 2 is not equal to 5, it does not make a valid output, and therefore you output -1.
However, the answer is actually 1 * 1 * 3. One possible configuration of the points is (0,1,2,5).
Did I misunderstand you somewhere?
