- Replace zeros in two rows so their sums are equal and as small as possible.
- Input: arrays rowA (n) and rowB (m) with positive integers and zeros for missing; Output: minimum achievable equal sum or -1 if impossible.
- Constraints: 1 ≤ n,m ≤ 1e5; values in [0,10^4]; replacements must be positive.
- Real-world context: teaching math with Lego blocks in a classroom.
- From Citadel interviews; a coding interview problem and interview question.
