Hard
There is a pizza with `3n` slices of varying size, you and your friends will take slices of pizza as follows:
* You will pick **any** pizza slice.
* Your friend Alice will pick the next slice in the anti-clockwise direction of your pick.
* Your friend Bob will pick the next slice in the clockwise direction of your pick.
* Repeat until there are no more slices of pizzas.
Given an integer array `slices` that represent the sizes of the pizza slices in a clockwise direction, return _the maximum possible sum of slice sizes that you can pick_.
