+
+  Challenge 192 Equal Distribution ( Python )
+
+ 
+
+  You are given a list of integers greater than or equal to zero, @list.
+
+ 
+
+  Write a script to distribute the number so that each members are same. If you succeed then print the total moves otherwise print -1.
+
+ 
+
+  Please follow the rules (as suggested by Neils van Dijke [2022-11-21 13:00]
+
+ 
+
+  1) You can only move a value of '1' per move
+
+  2) You are only allowed to move a value of '1' to a direct neighbor/adjacent cell
