Description
At Bessie's recent birthday party, she received N (2 <= N <= 100,000; N%2 == 0) pearls, each painted one of C different colors (1 <= C <= N).
Upon observing that the number of pearls N is always even, her creative juices flowed and she decided to pair the pearls so that each pair of pearls has two different colors.
Knowing that such a set of pairings is always possible for the supplied testcases, help Bessie perform such a pairing. If there are multiple ways of creating a pairing, any solution suffices.
Input Format

* Lines 2..C + 1: Line i+1 tells the count of pearls with color i: C_i
Output Format
- Lines 1..N/2: Line i contains two integers a_i and b_i indicating that Bessie can pair two pearls with respective colors a_i and b_i.
