In this Kata, we define an arithmetic progression as a series of integers in which the differences between adjacent numbers are the same. You will be given an array of ints of `length > 2` and your task will be to convert it into an arithmetic progression by the following rule:
```Haskell
For each element there are exactly three options: an element can be decreased by 1, an element can be increased by 1 
or it can be left unchanged.
```
Return the minimum number of changes needed to convert the array to an arithmetic progression. If not possible, return `-1`.
```Haskell
For example: 
solve([1,1,3,5,6,5]) == 4 because [1,1,3,5,6,5] can be changed to [1,2,3,4,5,6] by making 4 changes.
solve([2,1,2]) == 1 because it can be changed to [2,2,2]
solve([1,2,3]) == 0  because it is already a progression, and no changes are needed.
solve([1,1,10) == -1 because it's impossible.
solve([5,6,5,3,1,1]) == 4. It becomes [6,5,4,3,2,1]
```

More examples in the test cases. Good luck!
