#P2221. Frogger's For Dinner
Frogger's For Dinner
Description
"Uncle Jacques, " you ask, "What's for dinner?"
"Ask me again in 10 minutes, " Uncle Jacques replies, eyeing the weary-looking frog sitting on the shoulder of Interstate 10, in front of your dilapidated shack.
You notice the potential roadkill as it begins its journey across the vehicle-laden road. You want to know if you should begin boiling a pot of water in anticipation of frog legs for dinner or warm up the leftover possum. You fire up your Swamp 'Puter XL2 and quickly write a program to determine if it is possible for the frog to make it across the road or if it will be hit by a vehicle.
Examining the patch of road in front of your shack, you notice the lanes and shoulders resemble a 10 X 10 grid of squares (shown below). You also notice that the way the frog and the vehicles are moving can be described in "turns". To determine if the frog makes it across the road, you quickly devise a set of rules:
- At the onset of a run, the frog can start in any square on row 0 (the starting shoulder).
- First, the frog will always remain in the same column and move one row down, towards row 9, his destination (he's not the smartest frog in the world).

Input
Input to this problem will consist of a (non-empty) series of up to 100 data sets. Each data set will describe the starting conditions of the interstate for a run and will be formatted according to the following description. There will be no blank lines separating data sets.
- Start line - A single line, "START"
- 0, representing no vehicle occupying that square, or
Output
Output for each data set will be exactly one line of output. The line will either be "LEFTOVER POSSUM" or "FROGGER" (both all caps with no whitespace leading or following).
"LEFTOVER POSSUM" will appear if the frog can make it safely (without becoming roadkill) across the interstate after a series of turns starting in ANY column on row 0.
"FROGGER" will be output for a data set if it fails to meet the criteria for a "LEFTOVER POSSUM" line.
