    1681 - Minimum Incompatibility\. Hard You are given an integer array `nums` and an integer `k`. You are asked to distribute this array into `k` subsets of **equal size** such that there are no two equal elements in the same subset. A subset's **incompatibility** is the difference between the maximum and minimum elements in that array. Return _the **minimum possible sum of incompatibilities** of the_ `k` _subsets after distributing the array optimally, or return_ `-1` _if it is not possible._ A subset is a group integers that appear in the array with no particular order. **Example 1:** **Input:** nums = [1,2,1,4], k = 2 **Output:** 4 **Explanation:** The optimal distribution of subsets is [1,2] and [1,4]. The incompatibility is (2-1) + (4-1) = 4. Note that [1,1] and [2,4] would result in a smaller sum, but the first subset contains 2 equal elements. **Example 2:** **Input:** nums = [6,3,8,1,3,1,2,2], k = 4 **Output:** 6 **Explanation:** The optimal distribution of subsets is [1,2], [2,3], [6,8], and [1,3]. The incompatibility is (2-1) + (3-2) + (8-6) + (3-1) = 6. **Example 3:** **Input:** nums = [5,3,3,6,3,3], k = 3 **Output:** -1 **Explanation:** It is impossible to distribute nums into 3 subsets where no two elements are equal in the same subset. **Constraints:** * `1 <= k <= nums.length <= 16` * `nums.length` is divisible by `k` * `1 <= nums[i] <= nums.length`
