+Fuel Injection Perfection
+=========================
+
+Commander Lambda has asked for your help to refine the automatic quantum antimatter fuel injection system for the LAMBCHOP doomsday device. It's a great chance for you to get a closer look at the LAMBCHOP -- and maybe sneak in a bit of sabotage while you're at it -- so you took the job gladly. 
+
+Quantum antimatter fuel comes in small pellets, which is convenient since the many moving parts of the LAMBCHOP each need to be fed fuel one pellet at a time. However, minions dump pellets in bulk into the fuel intake. You need to figure out the most efficient way to sort and shift the pellets down to a single pellet at a time. 
+
+The fuel control mechanisms have three operations: 
+
+1) Add one fuel pellet
+2) Remove one fuel pellet
+3) Divide the entire group of fuel pellets by 2 (due to the destructive energy released when a quantum antimatter pellet is cut in half, the safety controls will only allow this to happen if there is an even number of pellets)
+
+Write a function called solution(n) which takes a positive integer as a string and returns the minimum number of operations needed to transform the number of pellets to 1. The fuel intake control panel can only display a number up to 309 digits long, so there won't ever be more pellets than you can express in that many digits.
+
+For example:
+solution(4) returns 2: 4 -> 2 -> 1
+solution(15) returns 5: 15 -> 16 -> 8 -> 4 -> 2 -> 1

+
+To provide a Python solution, edit solution.py
+To provide a Java solution, edit Solution.java
+
+Test cases
+==========
+Your code should pass the following test cases.
+Note that it may also be run against hidden test cases not shown here.
+
+-- Python cases --
+Input:
+solution.solution('15')
+Output:
+    5
+
+Input:
+solution.solution('4')
+Output:
+    2
+
+-- Java cases --
+Input:
+Solution.solution('4')
+Output:
+    2
+
+Input:
+Solution.solution('15')
+Output:
+    5
+
+Use verify [file] to test your solution and see how it does. When you are finished editing your code, use submit [file] to submit your answer. If your solution passes the test cases, it will be removed from your home folder.
