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
题意:
给出 N (<= 100)个 case,后每个 case 都给出两个四位数 A 和 B ,问最少需要将 A 经过多少次变化才能变成 B,每次变化只能变一位数,且每次得出来的数都必须为素数。
思路:
数学 + 搜索。首先先预处理好素数,再保存1000 ~ 9999之间的素数,并每个素数都对应着一个编号,并且转化成图,图用邻接表保存,每个数都有一个出度,指向的是与其相差一位的数。后给出 A 和 B 就是寻找 A 到 B 的最短路,故用 BFS 找最短路即可,若不预处理事先转化成素数图,在 BFS 中再一个个找的话,无疑会 TLE 的。
