683. K Empty Slots (Hard)

You have N bulbs in a row numbered from 1 to N. Initially, all the bulbs are turned off. We turn on exactly one bulb everyday until all bulbs are on after N days.

You are given an array bulbs of length N where bulbs[i] = x means that on the (i+1)th day, we will turn on the bulb at position x where i is 0-indexed and x is 1-indexed.

Given an integer K, find out the minimum day number such that there exists two turned on bulbs that have exactly K bulbs between them that are all turned off.

If there isn't such day, return -1.

 

Example 1:

Input: 
bulbs: [1,3,2]
K: 1
Output: 2
Explanation:
On the first day: bulbs[0] = 1, first bulb is turned on: [1,0,0]
On the second day: bulbs[1] = 3, third bulb is turned on: [1,0,1]
On the third day: bulbs[2] = 2, second bulb is turned on: [1,1,1]
We return 2 because on the second day, there were two on bulbs with one off bulb between them.

Example 2:

Input: 
bulbs: [1,2,3]
K: 1
Output: -1

 

Note:

1. 1 <= N <= 20000
2. 1 <= bulbs[i] <= N
3. bulbs is a permutation of numbers from 1 to N.
4. 0 <= K <= 20000
