Statement

 Goal

Here is a rectangle (eventArea) divided (in a wonky "Tic-Tac-Toe-style") into 9 smaller rectangles (activityAreas).

It is an aerial-view snapshot of a kids-event, with 9 activities that attendees can do: face-painting, pony-rides, fort-building, magic show, corn-maze, giant bubbles, etc.

Each attendee is a *

The dividing lines are shown as : or -
The points where dividing lines intersect are shown as +


Your Task:

We want to know (for this moment in time):
‣ the total number of attendees (totalAttendees) and
‣ what percentage of attendees were in each activityArea. These 9 percentages are called percentageAtThisActivity.

How to display each percentageAtThisActivity:
It is rounded to nearest integer
It is followed by %
It is exactly 4 characters long. If necessary, pad the left with one or more underscores (_) to force proper alignment

Note: The percentages may not add up to 100% after rounding.


Your impact:
We'll use this output to help quantify how popular each activity was.
Based on that, some activities may (or may not) be included at next year's event.
Input
Line 1: An integer height of eventArea
Next height Lines: A string representing a row of eventArea
Output
Line 1: An integer totalAttendees, followed by attendees
Lines 2-4: percentageAtThisActivity in the same ordering/configuration as the input eventArea.
(Each is separated by a space)
Constraints
There will be no attendees (*) on the dividing borders, i.e., it will be clear which activityArea each attendee belongs to.

There are always at least 2 attendees
