Farmer John's N cows (4 <= N <= 12, N even) have built a primitive system for communicating between pairs of friendly cows by building wires protected by wrappings made of hay.

Each cow has exactly 3 other friends in the barn, and the cows must arrange themselves to occupy N stalls lined up in a row. A wire of length L requires exactly L units of hay to build, so for example if the cows in stalls 4 and 7 are friends, it would take 3 units of hay to construct a wire to connect them.

Assuming every pair of friends must be connected by a separate wire, please determine the minimum possible amount of hay required to build these wires if the cows order themselves in the best possible way.
