A palindrome is a sequence of characters that reads the same forwards and backwards. e.g. RADAR, MADAMIMADAM.

You are to write a program which finds the longest palindrome in a given string of characters.

Input

The input will begin with a line containing one positive integer n (1 \le n \le 100), the number of strings to be tested, followed by n lines each containing one string of characters of up to 25\,000 characters in length and terminated with a blank. The input strings will contain upper case letters only.

Output

Your program should output a pair of lines for each test case with the palindrome on the first line and the length of the palindrome on the second.

In the event of a tie for longest, output the palindrome that appears earlier in the string.
