You have a rectangular chocolate bar consisting of nโ€‰ร—โ€‰m single squares. You want to eat exactly k squares, so you may need to break the chocolate bar.
In one move you can break any single rectangular piece of chocolate in two rectangular pieces. You can break only by lines between squares: horizontally or vertically. The cost of breaking is equal to square of the break length.
For example, if you have a chocolate bar consisting of 2โ€‰ร—โ€‰3 unit squares then you can break it horizontally and get two 1โ€‰ร—โ€‰3 pieces (the cost of such breaking is 32โ€‰=โ€‰9), or you can break it vertically in two ways and get two pieces: 2โ€‰ร—โ€‰1 and 2โ€‰ร—โ€‰2 (the cost of such breaking is 22โ€‰=โ€‰4).
For several given values n, m and k find the minimum total cost of breaking. You can eat exactly k squares of chocolate if after all operations of breaking there is a set of rectangular pieces of chocolate with the total size equal to k squares. The remaining nยทmโ€‰-โ€‰k squares are not necessarily form a single rectangular piece.
Input
The first line of the input contains a single integer t (1โ€‰โ‰คโ€‰tโ€‰โ‰คโ€‰40910) โ€” the number of values n, m and k to process.
Each of the next t lines contains three integers n, m and k (1โ€‰โ‰คโ€‰n,โ€‰mโ€‰โ‰คโ€‰30,โ€‰1โ€‰โ‰คโ€‰kโ€‰โ‰คโ€‰min(nยทm,โ€‰50)) โ€” the dimensions of the chocolate bar and the number of squares you want to eat respectively.
Output
For each n, m and k print the minimum total cost needed to break the chocolate bar, in order to make it possible to eat exactly k squares.

Note
In the first query of the sample one needs to perform two breaks:
  • to split 2โ€‰ร—โ€‰2 bar into two pieces of 2โ€‰ร—โ€‰1 (cost is 22โ€‰=โ€‰4),
  • to split the resulting 2โ€‰ร—โ€‰1 into two 1โ€‰ร—โ€‰1 pieces (cost is 12โ€‰=โ€‰1).
In the second query of the sample one wants to eat 3 unit squares. One can use exactly the same strategy as in the first query of the sample.
