Forces in the crystal

CodeChefRating 2905Open on judge ↗

Suppose that we have a crystalline triangular grid of atoms. Atoms are arranged on a regular grid, and each atom has six neighbors (unless it lies on the boundary of crystal). Each atom has an electric charge of q, and can be polarized in only one of two directions: up or down (the laws of physics in Byteland are somewhat surprising!). If two atoms are neighbors and share the same polarization, th
