Farmer John has a square canvas represented by an N by N grid of cells (2≤N≤2000, N is even). He paints the canvas according to the following steps:

1.First, he divides the canvas into four equal quadrants, separated by horizontal and vertical lines through the center of the canvas.
2.Next, he paints a lovely painting in the top-right quadrant of the canvas. Each cell of the top-right quadrant will either be painted (represented by '#') or unpainted (represented by '.').
3.Finally, since he is so proud of his painting, he reflects it across the previously mentioned horizontal and vertical lines into the other quadrants of the canvas.

For example, suppose N=8 and FJ painted the following painting in the top-right quadrant in step 2:

.#..
.#..
.##.
....

Then after reflecting across the horizontal and vertical lines into the other quadrants in step 3, the canvas would look as follows:

..#..#..
..#..#..
.##..##.
........
........
.##..##.
..#..#..
..#..#..

However, while FJ was sleeping, Bessie broke into his barn and stole his precious canvas. She totally vandalized the canvas—removing some painted cells and adding more painted cells! Before FJ woke up, she returned the canvas to FJ.

FJ would like to modify his canvas so that it once again satisfies the reflective condition: that is, it is the result of reflecting the top-right quadrant into each of the other quadrants. Since he only has a limited number of resources, he would like to achieve this in as few operations as possible, where a single operation consists of either painting a cell or removing paint from a cell.

You are given the canvas after Bessie's vandalism, as well as a sequence of U
(0≤U≤10⁵) updates to the canvas, each toggling a single cell to '.' if it is '#', or vice versa. Before any updates, and after each update, output the minimum number of operations x FJ needs to perform so that the reflective condition is satisfied.

INPUT FORMAT (input arrives from the terminal / stdin):

The first line contains integers N and U.

The next N lines each contain N characters representing the canvas after Bessie's vandalism. Every character is either '#' or '.'.

The following U lines each contain integers r and c, where 1≤r,c≤N, representing an update to the cell in the rth row from the top and cth column from the left of the canvas.

OUTPUT FORMAT (print output to the terminal / stdout):

Output U+1 lines representing x before any updates and after each update.

Bessie the brilliant bovine has discovered a new fascination—mathematical magic! One day, while trotting through the fields of Farmer John’s ranch, she stumbles upon two enchanted piles of hay. The first pile contains a bales, and the second pile contains b bales (1≤a,b≤10¹⁸).

Next to the hay, half-buried in the dirt, she discovers an ancient scroll. As she unfurls it, glowing letters reveal a prophecy:

To fulfill the decree of the Great Grasslands, the chosen one must transform these two humble hay piles into exactly c and d bales—no more, no less.

Bessie realizes she can only perform the following two spells:

She can magically conjure new bales to increase the first pile’s size by the amount currently in the second pile.
She can magically conjure new bales to increase the second pile’s size by the amount currently in the first pile.

She must perform these operations sequentially, but she can perform them any number of times and in any order. She must reach exactly c bales in the first pile and d bales in the second pile (1≤c,d≤10¹⁸).

For each of T(1≤T≤10⁴) independent test cases, output the minimum number of operations needed to fulfill the prophecy, or if it is impossible to do so, output -1.

INPUT FORMAT (input arrives from the terminal / stdin):

The first line contains T.

The next T lines each contain four integers a,b,c,d.

OUTPUT FORMAT (print output to the terminal / stdout):

Output T lines, the answer to each test case.

SAMPLE OUTPUT:

In the first test case, it is impossible since b>d initially, but operations can only increase b.

In the second test case, initially the two piles have (5,3) bales. Bessie can first increase the first pile by the amount in the second pile, resulting in (8,3) bales. Bessie can then increase the second pile by the new amount in the first pile, and do this operation twice, resulting in (8,11) and finally (8,19) bales. This matches c and d and is the minimum number of operations to get there.

Note that the third test case has a different answer than the second because c and d are swapped (the order of the piles matters).

In the fourth test case, no operations are necessary.

Bessie is helping Elsie with her upcoming vocabulary quiz. The words to be tested will be drawn from a bank of M distinct words, where no word in the bank is a prefix of another word in the bank.

While the bank is nonempty, Bessie will select a word from the bank, remove it from the bank, and read it to Elsie one character at a time from left to right. Elsie's task is to tell Bessie once she can uniquely identify it, after which Bessie will stop reading.

Bessie has already decided to read the words from the word bank in the order w₁,w₂,…,w_M. If Elsie answers as quickly as possible, how many characters of each word will Bessie read?

The words are given in a compressed format. We will first define N+1 (1≤N≤ 10⁶ ) distinct words, and then the word bank will consist of all those words that are not a prefix of another word. The words are defined as follows:

Initially, the 0th word will be the empty string.

Then for each 1≤i≤N, the ith word will be equal to the p_ith word plus an additional character at the end (0≤p_i<i). The characters are chosen such that all N+1 words are distinct.

INPUT FORMAT (input arrives from the terminal / stdin):

The first line contains N, where N+1 is the number of words given in the  compressed format.

The next line contains p₁,p₂,…,p_N where p_i represents that the i-th word is formed by taking the pi-th word and adding a single character to the end.

Let M be the number of words that are not a prefix of some other word. The next M lines will contain w₁,w₂,…,w_M, meaning that the w_ith word will be the ith to be read. It is guaranteed that the words to be read form a permutation of the words in the word bank.

OUTPUT FORMAT (print output to the terminal / stdout):

Output M lines, where the ith line contains the number of characters of the ith word that Bessie reads.

SAMPLE INPUT:

5
0 1 2 3 4
5

SAMPLE OUTPUT:

0

There are 6words labeled 0…5. Word 5 is the only one that is not a prefix of another word, so it is the only one in the bank. In general, once only one word is left in the bank, Elsie won't need any characters to identify it.

SAMPLE INPUT:

4
0 0 1 1
4

2

SAMPLE OUTPUT:

0

The bank consists of words 2, 3, and 4.

Elsie needs two characters to identify word 4 since words 3 and 4 share their first character in common.

Once Bessie reads the first character of word 3 , Elsie has enough characters to uniquely identify it, since word 4 was already read.

SAMPLE INPUT:

SCORING:

Inputs 4-5: No word has length greater than 20.

Farmer John has N (1≤N≤2⋅10⁵) cows in a line a. The i'th cow from the front of line a is labeled an integer a_i (1≤a_i ≤N). Multiple cows may be labeled the same integer.

FJ will construct another line b in the following manner:

Initially, b is empty.
While a is nonempty, remove the cow at the front of a and potentially add that cow to the back of b.

FJ wants to construct line b such that the sequence of labels in b from front to back is lexicographically greatest (see the footnote).

Before FJ constructs line b, he can perform the following operation at most once:

Choose a cow in line a and move it anywhere before its current position.

Given that FJ optimally performs the aforementioned operation at most once, output the lexicographically greatest label sequence of b he can achieve.

Each input will consist of T (1≤T≤100) independent test cases.

INPUT FORMAT (input arrives from the terminal / stdin):

The first line contains T.

The first line of each test case contains N.

The second line of each test case contains N space-separated integers a₁,a₂,…,a_N.

It is guaranteed that the sum of N over all test cases does not exceed 10⁶.

OUTPUT FORMAT (print output to the terminal / stdout):

For each test case, output the lexicographically greatest b on a new line.

In the first test case, FJ can move the fifth cow to directly after the second cow. Now, a=[4,3,3,2,1]. It can be shown [4,3,3,2,1] is also the lexicographically greatest b.

In the second test case, FJ can move the fourth cow to the front of the line.

In the third test case, FJ does not need to perform any operations. He can construct b by adding each cow beside the second cow to the back of b. It can be shown this results in the lexicographically greatest b.

SCORING:

Inputs 2-4: N≤100
Inputs 5-8: N≤750
Inputs 9-18: No additional constraints

FOOTNOTE:

Recall that a sequence s is lexicographically greater than a sequence t if and only if one of the following holds:

At the first position i where s_i≠t_i, s_i>s_i.
If no such i exists, s is longer than t.

Farmer John's N cows are labeled 1 to N(2≤N≤16). The friendship relationships between the cows can be modeled as an undirected graph with M (0≤M≤N(N−1)/2) edges. Two cows are friends if and only if there is an edge between them in the graph.

In one operation, you can add or remove a single edge from the graph. Count the minimum number of operations required to ensure that the following property holds: If cows a and b are friends, then for every other cow c, at least one of a
and b is friends with c.

Farmer John has a binary string of length N (1≤N≤10⁹), initially all zeros.

He will first perform M(1≤M≤2⋅10⁵) updates on the string, in order. Each update flips every character from l to r. Specifically, flipping a character changes it from 0 to 1, or vice versa.

Then, he asks you Q (1≤Q≤2⋅10⁵) queries. For each query, he asks you to output the lexicographically greatest subsequence of length k comprised of characters from the substring from l to r. If your answer is a binary string s₁s₂…s_k, then output (that is, its value when interpreted as a binary number) modulo 10⁹+7.

A subsequence is a string that can be derived from another string by deleting some or no characters without changing the order of the remaining characters.

Recall that string A is lexicographically greater than string B of equal length if and only if at the first position i, if it exists, where A_i≠B_i, we have A_i>B_i.

INPUT FORMAT (input arrives from the terminal / stdin):

The first line contains N, M, and Q.

The next M lines contain two integers, l and r (1≤l≤r≤N) — the endpoints of each update.

The next Q lines contain three integers, l, r, and k (1≤l≤r≤N,1≤k≤r−l+1) — the endpoints of each query and the length of the subsequence.

OUTPUT FORMAT (print output to the terminal / stdout):

Output Q lines. The ith line should contain the answer for the ith query.

For the second query, there are 5 unique subsequences of length 4: 0101, 1101, 1001, 1011, 1010. The lexicographically largest subsequence is 1101, which is interpreted as 1⋅2³+1⋅2²+0⋅2¹+1⋅2⁰=13.

For the third query, the lexicographically largest sequence is 111, which is interpreted as 7.

Bessie is taking an N-question true or false test (1≤N≤2⋅10⁵). For the i-th question, she will gain a_i  points if she gets it correct, lose b_i points if she gets it incorrect, or remain even if she does not answer it (0<a_i,b_i ≤10⁹).

Bessie knows all the answers because she is a smart cow, but worries that Elsie (who is administering the test) will retroactively change up to k of the questions after the test such that Bessie does not get those questions correct.
