Challenge 09: LEGO Bricks Solution

The instructor's kids love playing with LEGO. Just give them a box of these magical bricks and everything is awesome1.

Lately, they have been working on organizing their gigantic collection of bricks 2. As they were sorting their 1x1, 2x1, 3x1and 4x1 bricks, however, they got side-tracked with the following problem:

Given a collection of 1x1, 2x1, and 3x1, and 4x1 bricks, at least how many 4x1 rows are required to hold all the pieces?
Note, the kids are very particular and only want the bricks in a horizontal orientation.
For example, given 3 1x1 bricks, 2 2x1 bricks, 2 3x1 bricks, and 3 4x1 bricks, we would need 7 4x1 rows as shown on the right.

Because they have a lot of bricks, the kids want "daddy's students" to help them by writing a program that will compute the minimum number of rows needed to arrange their Nx1 bricks in 4x1 rows.

Input
Each line of input will consist of four numbers corresponding to the number of 1x1, 2x1, 3x1, and 4x1 bricks.

You should read and process each line of input until the end of the file.

Example Input
3 2 2 3
Output
For each collection of bricks, you should output the minimum number of 4x1 rows required to hold all the bricks as described above.

Example Output
7
