Prime Path
Description
The ministers of the cabinet were quite upset by the message from the Chief of Security stating that they would all have to change the four-digit room numbers on their offices.
— It is a matter of security to change such things every now and then, to keep the enemy in the dark.
— But look, I have chosen my number 1033 for good reasons. I am the Prime minister, you know!
— I know, so therefore your new number 8179 is also a prime. You will just have to paste four new digits over the four old ones on your office door.
— No, it’s not that simple. Suppose that I change the first digit to an 8, then the number will read 8033 which is not a prime!
— I see, being the prime minister you cannot stand having a non-prime number on your door even for a few seconds.
— Correct! So I must invent a scheme for going from 1033 to 8179 by a path of prime numbers where only one digit is changed from one prime to the next prime.
Now, the minister of finance, who had been eavesdropping, intervened.
— No unnecessary expenditure, please! I happen to know that the price of a digit is one pound.
— Hmm, in that case I need a computer program to minimize the cost. You don't know some very cheap software gurus, do you?
— In fact, I do. You see, there is this programming contest going on... Help the prime minister to find the cheapest prime path between any two given four-digit primes! The first digit must be nonzero, of course. Here is a solution in the case above.

1033The cost of this solution is 6 pounds. Note that the digit 1 which got pasted over in step 2 can not be reused in the last step – a new 1 must be purchased.

Input
One line with a positive number: the number of test cases (at most 100). Then for each test case, one line with two numbers separated by a blank. Both numbers are four-digit primes (without leading zeros).
Output
One line for each case, either with a number stating the minimal cost or containing the word Impossible.
Sample Input
3 1033 8179 1373 8017 1033 1033
Sample Output
6 7 0
分析:
题意就是从已知的一个素数(四位)改变到另一个给出的素数(四位),但每次只能改变一个位数,还要保证改变中的每一个中间数都要是素数...(坑爹的部长= =)
STL提供了这么方便的queue没理由不用不是。。。这里的判断素数多写了几行貌似能省一点时间= =。关键是后一个数的生成,考虑个十百千位,每一位有10种情况,
也就是40入口的bfs...但在个位可以只考虑奇数...忘了中间两位可以用0填,导致测试的一组数据第一趟循环找不到下一个结点进队,头结点又出队,直接导致下一趟对空队列进行front(),操作停止运行...调试到夜里两点多还找不出原因啊操,最后还是写了一个生成已知数的下一个素数的程序找出只比那个数大一个数的素数测试发现百位还是十位是0......
