There is a chessboard of dimensions 15 X 15, and Alice and Bob start playing a game on it. The game is not chess, and involves just one coin.

The coordinates of the top left cell are (1,1) and the bottom right are (15,15). The coin is initially at (x,y). In each turn, the player whose turn it is can move the coin to any of the four cells (provided they are inside the board):

(x-2,y+1)
(x-2,y-1)
(x+1,y-2)
(x-1,y-2)

The figure below shows the possible moves of a coin at (5,4) (An 8 x 8 board is given in the image, but in the problem, it will always be a 15 x 15 board).

Alice makes the first move. Both Alice and Bob take alternate turns and move until it is not possible to move the coin anymore. The player unable to make a move loses.

For example:

If there is a coin at (1,1), Bob wins the game as Alice can make no move to start the game.

You have been appointed as the technical lead in the very famous ninja theater. Due to the recent pandemic, all the people inside the theater must follow social distancing. There are ‘N’ seats in a single row in the ninja theater, numbered from 0 to ‘N’ - 1 inclusive. As a technical lead, your task is to find a seating arrangement for ninja theater such that when a person enters the theater, he/she must sit in the seat that maximizes the distance from the closest person.

Note :

1) If the theater is empty, i.e., if no one is in the theater, they sit in the first seat(seat number 0).
2) If there are multiple seats that maximize the distance from the closest person, they sit in the seat with the lowest number.
