Problem type

Given a cactus graph, compute the maximum distance between two vertices.

Constraints

1 \le N \le 5 \cdot 10^4

0 \le M \le 10^4

2 \le K_i \le 10^3

Input Specification

The first line contains two space-separated integers, N and M. There are N vertices labeled from 1 to N.

M lines follow. Each line starts with an integer K_i, followed by K_i space-separated integers. Adjacent integers in each line are connected with an edge. The graph is guaranteed to be a connected cactus.

Output Specification

Output the diameter of the graph.
