All submissions for this problem are available.Little Elephant from Zoo of Lviv likes medians so much. Let us define **median** term for some array **A**. Let **B** be the same array **A**, but sorted in non-decreasing order. Median of **A** is **Bm** (1-based indexing), where **m** equals to **(n div 2)+1**. Here **'div'** is an integer division operation. So, for a sorted array with 5 elements, median is the 3rd element and for a sorted array with 6 elements, it is the 4th element.
Little Elephant has an array **A** with **n** integers. In one turn he can apply the following operation to any consecutive subarray **A\[l..r\]**: assign to all **Ai (l <= i <= r)** median of subarray **A\[l..r\]**.
Let **max** be the maximum integer of **A**. Little Elephant wants to know the minimum number of operations needed to change **A** to an array of **n** integers each with value **max**.
For example, let **A = \[1, 2, 3\]**. Little Elephant wants to change it to **\[3, 3, 3\]**. He can do this in two operations, first for subarray **A\[2..3\]** (after that **A** equals to **\[1, 3, 3\]**), then operation to **A\[1..3\]**.
### Input
First line of the input contains single integer **T** - the number of test cases. Then **T** test cases follow, each of such format: first line - integer **n**, second line - array **A** consisted of **n** integers.
### Output
In **T** lines print the results for each test case, one per line.
### Constraints
1 <= **T** <= 100
1 <= **n** <= 30
1 <= **A\[i\]** <= 10^9
