Please consider the following submission: https://codeforces.net/contest/1383/submission/216651569

My code is failing the below test case but by the question, it seems that my code is the right answer. 77 kijhomniljogijghgphipmhlmmkkkjimnmjnmlphnhnmoigoknopjgjpkompmhggkhohgolkoghhm klpnppoknlojilmpkpiopommmpolpjkmoonoplphnjnppikolopponppppnpoiomnloljpnkokmpo

My answer is 9 as there is a weak component that includes g to p. However, the expected answer is 13. Please find below the graph

0 refers to a and 19 refers to t.

According to the algorithm, I can convert the relevant 6s to 7s, relevant 7s to 8s and so on. This makes it 9 moves. No other moves are required. Any assistance as to how the tester says the answer should be 13 is appreciated. TIA.
