Numbers 1,2,3,…n (each integer from 1 to n once) are written on a board. In one operation you can erase any two numbers a and b from the board and write one integer a+b2 rounded up instead.
You should perform the given operation n−1 times and make the resulting number that will be left on the board as small as possible.
For example, if n=4, the following course of action is optimal:
choose a=4 and b=2, so the new number is 3, and the whiteboard contains [1,3,3];
choose a=3 and b=3, so the new number is 3, and the whiteboard contains [1,3];
choose a=1 and b=3, so the new number is 2, and the whiteboard contains [2].
It’s easy to see that after n−1 operations, there will be left only one number. Your goal is to minimize it.
Input
The first line contains one integer t (1≤t≤1000) — the number of test cases.
The only line of each test case contains one integer n (2≤n≤2⋅105) — the number of integers written on the board initially.
It’s guaranteed that the total sum of n over test cases doesn’t exceed 2⋅105.
Output
For each test case, in the first line, print the minimum possible number left on the board after n−1 operations. Each of the next n−1 lines should contain two integers — numbers a and b chosen and erased in each operation.
