HackerEarth Handshakes in a party problem solution

In this HackerEarth Handshakes in a party problem solution, You are organizing a new year's party and you have invited a lot of guests. Now, you want each of the guests to handshake with every other guest to make the party interactive. Your task is to know what will be the minimum time by which every guest meets others. One person can handshake with only one other person at once following the handshake should be of 3 seconds sharp.

You have prepared some data for each guest which is the order in which the Guest(i) will meet others. If the data is inconsistent, then print -1. Otherwise, print the minimum time in seconds.
