One day n students come to the stadium. They want to play football, and for that they need to split into teams, the teams must have an equal number of people.
Sagheer is walking in the street when he comes to an intersection of two roads. Each road can be represented as two parts where each part has 3 lanes getting into the intersection (one for each direction) and 3 lanes getting out of the intersection, so we have 4 parts in total. Each part has 4 lights, one for each lane getting into the intersection (l — left, s — straight, r — right) and a light p for a pedestrian crossing.
Petr stands in line of n people, but he doesn’t know exactly which position he occupies. He can say that there are no less than a people standing in front of him and no more than b people standing behind him. Find the number of different positions Petr can occupy.

One day a highly important task was commissioned to Vasya — writing a program in a night. The program consists of n lines of code. Vasya is already exhausted, so he works like that: first he writes v lines of code, drinks a cup of tea, then he writes as much as ⌊v/k⌋ lines, drinks another cup of tea, then he writes ⌊v/k2⌋ lines and so on: ⌊v/k3⌋ , ⌊v/k4⌋ , ⌊v/k5⌋ , …
