This non-discriminatory year-end holiday season you have received a present. It has to stay neatly wrapped for some time, but you want to know what it is now. Estimating the weight of the package, and the weights of possible presents, pick the closest match.

The output file OUT1.txt will contain 5 lines of output, each name of the closest guess out of the choices. If two items tie, then answer with the heavier of the two.
Sample Input (first 2 cases):
-2 helium -3 air 0 socks 1 brick 10 4 brick 10 books 7 socks 1 air 0
Sample Output (first 2 cases):
