FatalEagle recently stumbled upon a manga that teaches linear algebra. A particularly interesting topic was matrix determinants. Your task is simple: given , an matrix, find its determinant! Since this number can be really big, we want to find its value .

#### Input Specification

The first line of input will have .

The next lines will have integers each. The integer of the line will contain .

For cases worth 30% of the total marks, .

For cases worth another 30% of the total marks, .

For all test cases, .

#### Output Specification

The output should be a single integer in the range , the determinant of the matrix .

#### Sample Input 1

2
-1 3
-5 7

#### Sample Output 1

8

#### Sample Input 2

6
1 3 5 2 4 6
2 5 4 3 1 6
6 1 2 3 4 5
2 5 1 3 6 4
4 5 1 2 3 6
5 4 3 6 1 2

#### Sample Output 2

There are a large number of test cases with increasing size. This problem is to test the efficiency of your matrix determinant algorithm -- in other words, the constant matters in this question!

Wait Fatal so you mean e.g. for T(n) = O(f(n)), if f(n) were to be 2(n^3) or something, then the 2 coefficient would matter?

Or sorry, I goofed. What do you mean by constant?
