Problem

Minimum Clicks Between Wiki Pages with Link Fetch Simulator

You have a set of wiki pages where each page may link to other pages. You must implement a link fetch simulator and then compute the minimum number of clicks needed to navigate from start to target (one click follows one outgoing link).

Tasks

Implement get_links(page): return the list of pages directly reachable from page.

Using get_links, compute the minimum clicks from start to target:

If start == target, the answer is 0

If target is unreachable, return -1

Input (for this simulator-based problem)

Line 1: integer m, number of directed links

Next m lines: two strings u v meaning a link from u to v

Last line: two strings start target

get_links(page) should behave as: return all x such that an input edge page -> x exists.

Output

One line: the minimum click count, or -1

Constraints

1 <= m <= 2*10^5

Page names are whitespace-free strings
