<p>
The final exam is here, and it's now or never for Ethan.
His current grade is abysmal so he needs a strong showing on this exam to have any chance of passing his introductory computer science class.
</p>
<p>
The exam has only one question: devise an algorithm to compute the compactness of a grid tree.
</p>
<p>
Ethan recalls that a "grid tree" is simply an unweighted tree with 2<strong>N</strong> nodes that you can imagine being embedded within a 2x<strong>N</strong> grid.
The top row of the grid contains the nodes 1 ... <strong>N</strong> from left to right,
and the bottom row of the grid contains the nodes (<strong>N</strong> + 1) ... 2<strong>N</strong> from left to right.
Every edge in a grid tree connects a pair of nodes which are adjacent in the 2x<strong>N</strong> grid.
Two nodes are considered adjacent if either they're in the same column, or they're directly side-by-side in the same row.
There must be exactly 2<strong>N</strong>-1 edges that connect the 2<strong>N</strong> nodes to form a single tree.
Additionally, the <em>i</em>th node in the grid tree is labelled with an integer <strong>A<sub>i</sub></strong>.
</p>
<p>
What was "compactness" again? After some intense thought, Ethan comes up with the following pseudocode to compute the compactness, <strong>c</strong>, of a grid tree:
</p>
<ul>
<li>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 1. Set <strong>c</strong> to be equal to 0.
<li>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 2. Iterate <em>i</em> upwards from 1 to 2<strong>N</strong> - 1:
<li>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 2a. Iterate <em>j</em> upwards from <em>i</em>+1 to 2<strong>N</strong>:
<li>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 2b. Increase <strong>c</strong> by <strong>A<sub>i</sub></strong> * <strong>A<sub>j</sub></strong> * <code>ShortestDistance(i, j)</code>
<li>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 3. Output <strong>c</strong>.
</ul>
<p>
<code>ShortestDistance(i, j)</code> is a function which returns the number of edges on the shortest path from node <em>i</em> to node <em>j</em> in the tree,
which Ethan has implemented correctly. In fact, his whole algorithm is quite correct for once. This is exactly how you compute compactness!
</p>
<p>
There's just one issue &mdash; in his code, Ethan has chosen to store <strong>c</strong> using a rather small integer type,
which is at risk of overflowing if <strong>c</strong> becomes too large!
</p>
<p>
Ethan is so close! Feeling sorry for him, you'd like to make some last-minute changes to the tree in order to minimize the final value of <strong>c</strong>,
and thus minimize the probability that it will overflow in Ethan's program and cost him much-needed marks.
You can't change any of the node labels <strong>A<sub>1..2N</sub></strong>,
but you may choose your own set of 2<strong>N</strong> - 1 edges to connect them into a grid tree.
</p>
<p>
For example, if <strong>A</strong> = [1, 3, 2, 2, 4, 5], then the grid of nodes looks like this:
</p>
<p>
You'd like to determine the minimum possible compactness which Ethan's program can produce given a valid tree of your choice.
For example, one optimal tree for the above grid of nodes (which results in the minimum possible compactness of 198) is as follows:
</p>
<h3>Input</h3>
<p>
Input begins with an integer <strong>T</strong>, the number of trees. For each tree, there are three lines. The first line contains the single integer <strong>N</strong>.
The second line contains the <strong>N</strong> space-separated integers <strong>A<sub>1..N</sub></strong>.
The third line contains the <strong>N</strong> space-separated integers <strong>A<sub>N+1..2N</sub></strong>.
</p>
<h3>Output</h3>
<p>
For the <em>i</em>th tree, output a line containing "Case #<em>i</em>: " followed by the minimum possible output of Ethan's program.
</p>
<h3>Constraints</h3>
<p>
1 &le; <strong>T</strong> &le; 80 <br />
1 &le; <strong>N</strong> &le; 50 <br />
1 &le; <strong>A<sub>i</sub></strong> &le; 1,000,000 <br />
</p>
<h3>Explanation of Sample</h3>
<p>
One optimal tree for the first case is given above. For that tree, Ethan's program would compute <strong>c</strong> as the sum of the following values (with some values omitted):
</p>
<ul>
<li> <strong>A<sub>1</sub></strong> * <strong>A<sub>2</sub></strong> * <code>ShortestDistance(1, 2)</code> = 1 * 3 * 1 = 3
<li> <strong>A<sub>1</sub></strong> * <strong>A<sub>3</sub></strong> * <code>ShortestDistance(1, 3)</code> = 1 * 2 * 4 = 8
<li> ...
<li> <strong>A<sub>1</sub></strong> * <strong>A<sub>6</sub></strong> * <code>ShortestDistance(1, 6)</code> = 1 * 5 * 3 = 15
<li> <strong>A<sub>2</sub></strong> * <strong>A<sub>3</sub></strong> * <code>ShortestDistance(2, 3)</code> = 3 * 2 * 3 = 18
<li> ...
<li> <strong>A<sub>4</sub></strong> * <strong>A<sub>6</sub></strong> * <code>ShortestDistance(4, 6)</code> = 2 * 5 * 2 = 20
<li> <strong>A<sub>5</sub></strong> * <strong>A<sub>6</sub></strong> * <code>ShortestDistance(5, 6)</code> = 4 * 5 * 1 = 20
</ul>
<p>
In the second case, there's only one possible tree, for which <strong>c</strong> = 2 * 3 * 1 = 6.
</p>
<p>
In the third case, two of the four possible trees are optimal (the ones omitting either the topmost or leftmost potential edge).
