题目描述
The only difference between the easy and the hard version is the limit to the number of queries.
This is an interactive problem.
There is an array $a$ of $n$ different numbers. In one query you can ask the position of the second maximum element in a subsegment $a[l..r]$ . Find the position of the maximum element in the array in no more than 40 queries.
A subsegment $a[l..r]$ is all the elements $a_l, a_{l + 1}, ..., a_r$ . After asking this subsegment you will be given the position of the second maximum from this subsegment in the whole array.

输入格式
The first line contains a single integer $n$ $(2 \leq n \leq 10^5)$ — the number of elements in the array.
输出格式
You can ask queries by printing "? $l$ $r$ " $(1 \leq l < r \leq n)$ . The answer is the index of the second maximum of all elements $a_l, a_{l + 1}, \ldots, a_r$ . Array $a$ is fixed beforehand and can't be changed in time of interaction.
You can output the answer by printing "! $p$ ", where $p$ is the index of the maximum element in the array.
You can ask no more than 40 queries. Printing the answer doesn't count as a query.
After printing a query do not forget to output end of line and flush the output. Otherwise, you will get Idleness limit exceeded. To do this, use:
- fflush(stdout) or cout.flush() in C++;
- System.out.flush() in Java;
- flush(output) in Pascal;
- stdout.flush() in Python;
- see documentation for other languages
Hacks
To make a hack, use the following test format.
In the first line output a single integer $n$ $(2 \leq n \leq 10^5)$ . In the second line output a permutation of $n$ integers $1$ to $n$ . The position of $n$ in the permutation is the position of the maximum

5 3 4
输出 #1
? 1 5 ? 4 5 ! 1
说明/提示
In the sample suppose $a$ is $[5, 1, 4, 2, 3]$ . So after asking the $[1..5]$ subsegment $4$ is second to max value, and it's position is $3$ . After asking the $[4..5]$ subsegment $2$ is second to max value and it's position in the whole array is $4$ .
Note that there are other arrays $a$ that would produce the same interaction, and the answer for them might be different. Example output is given in purpose of understanding the interaction.
