Description

Farmer John had been informed of the location of a fugitive cow and wants to catch her immediately. He starts at a point n (0≤ N ≤100,000) on a number line and the cow are at a point K (0≤ K ≤100,000) on the same number line. Farmer John has modes of transportation:walking and teleporting.

* WALKING:FJ can move from any point x to the points x -1 or x + 1 in a single minute
* TELEPORTING:FJ can move from any point x to the point 2x x in a single minute.

If the cow, unaware of its pursuit, does not move at all, how long does it take for Farmer John to retrieve it?
