There is a row that consists of digits from $ 0$ to $ 9$ and Ukrainian letters (there are $ 33$ of them) with following properties: there aren’t two distinct digits or letters $ a_i$, $ a_j$ such that $ a_i > a_j$ and $ i < j$ (if $ a_i$, $ a_j$ are letters $ a_i > a_j$ means that $ a_i$ has greater then $ a_j$ position in alphabet) and there aren’t two equal consecutive symbols or two equal symbols having exactly one symbol between them. Find the greatest possible number of symbols in such row.
