Consider a directed graph whose vertices are numbered from 1 to n. There is an edge from a vertex i to a vertex j iff either j = i + 1 or j = 3i. The task is to find the minimum number of edges in a path in G from vertex 1 to vertex n.

Input: 
The first line of input contains an integer T denoting the number of test cases. The description of T test cases follows.

Each test case contains a value of n. 

Output: 
Print the number of edges in the shortest path from 1 to n.

Constraints:
1<=T<=30
1<=n <=1000

Example:
Input:
2
9
4

Output:
2
2
