PROBLEM:
You are given an array A of length N containing the elements -1 and 1 only. Determine if it is possible to rearrange the array A in such a way that A_i is not the geometric mean of A_{i-1} and A_{i+1}, for all i such that 2 \leq i \leq N-1.
Y is said to be the geometric mean of X and Z if Y^2 = X \cdot Z.
EXPLANATION:
An observation: A_i and A_{i+2} cannot be equal as then A_i \cdot A_{i+2} = A_i^2 = 1 = A_{i+1}^2, independent of the value of A_i and A_{i+1} ( as they can be 1 and -1 only )
This means if we fix A_0 all values at even indices can be retrieved using the formula
A_i=-A_{i-2}. Similarly if we fix A_1 all values at odd indices can be retrieved with the same formula.
There are four combinations for first two values and they are [1,1] , [1,-1] , [-1,1] , [-1,-1]. We can generate four different sequences of length N using these four combinations and then check if one of them is an arrangement of the given array.
TIME COMPLEXITY:
O(N) for each test case.
