Woburn Challenge 1999 - Suicidal

James Bond is stuck at sea after his black power raft was destroyed. So far, no one has found him (they just figured he was "indisposed") and so he has become desperate. He decides to send a message in a bottle in the hopes that M finds it. But this is after all MI6 and so everything has to be done secretively. He writes his message in invisible ink on a square piece of paper and then cuts the paper into different shapes (at most 10 shapes). He then stuffs these shapes into a bottle and sends it on its way to London. As per protocol, the shapes all have edges parallel to the edges of the paper. The paper is a standard MI6-issued 10 \times 9 (height \times width) piece of paper. Some time later…

Back in London, M retrieves the bottle and attempts to put the paper back together in order to retrieve the message. But there's a good reason she's not an active agent because she needs help putting the paper back together. You are given the shapes and you must put them back together into the original square. The shapes will be masked by a character to indicate its shape.

For example,

1111
11

would denote an L-shaped piece. You must output the completed square. Note that the pieces are indicated with a character designation (i.e. this piece has been designated 1) to ensure that in the completed square, the exact positions of all the pieces placed are evident. In the event of more than one correct completion, output any of them.

Input Specification

Line 1: Number of input sets.
The next few lines will contain the input sets, which are represented as follows:

  • 1st line: a positive integer N \le 10, the number of pieces.
  • Next few lines will contain character-masks of the pieces.
  • Each piece will be separated by a line containing a single 0 (a 0 will never be used to bit-mask a shape).

Output Specification

Output the original letter as it must have appeared (if more than one exists, print out any possibility).
