of the secret doors contain a very interesting word puzzle. The team of
archaeologists has to solve it to open that doors. Because there is no
other way to open the doors, the puzzle is very important for us.
There
is a large number of magnetic plates on every door. Every plate has one
word written on it. The plates must be arranged into a sequence in such
a way that every word begins with the same letter as the previous word
ends. For example, the word ``acm'' can be followed by the word
``motorola''. Your task is to write a computer program that will read
the list of words and determine whether it is possible to arrange all of
the plates in a sequence (according to the given rule) and consequently
to open the door.
input consists of T test cases. The number of them (T) is given on the
first line of the input file. Each test case begins with a line
containing a single integer number Nthat indicates the number of plates
(1 <= N <= 100000). Then exactly Nlines follow, each containing a
single word. Each word contains at least two and at most 1000 lowercase
characters, that means only letters 'a' through 'z' will appear in the
word. The same word may appear several times in the list.
program has to determine whether it is possible to arrange all the
plates in a sequence such that the first letter of each word is equal to
the last letter of the previous word. All the plates from the list must
be used, each exactly once. The words mentioned several times must be
used that number of times.
If there exists such an ordering of
plates, your program should print the sentence "Ordering is possible.".
Otherwise, output the sentence "The door cannot be opened.".
