Description
Little C has a tree with nodes, numbered from to .
Believing that ropes hold special meaning, he decides to tie at least rope between every pair of nodes and where (since ropes are undirected, tying a rope between nodes and is equivalent to tying one between and ).

To achieve this, Little C performs a series of operations. In each operation, he selects a node as the root. Then, for every pair of nodes where , , and when node is the root, is an ancestor of in the tree, he ties rope between nodes and .
Little C wants to know the minimum number of operations (possibly zero) required to fulfill his original requirement.
Input Format
The input contains multiple test cases.
The first line contains an integer , the number of test cases. For each test case:
- The first line contains an integer .
- The next lines each contain two integers , representing an edge connecting nodes and in the tree.
It is guaranteed that the given edges form a valid tree.
Output Format
For each test case:
- Output a single integer, the minimum number of operations required.

Hint
【Sample Explanation】
For the first test case:

The tree structure is shown above. It suffices to perform one operation with as the root, which will tie ropes between nodes , , and .
For the second test case:

The tree structure is shown above. We can perform two operations with and as roots:
- When , ropes are tied between $(1, 2), (1, 3), (1, 4), (1, 5), (2, 3), (2, 4), (3, 4), (3, 5)$;
- When , ropes are tied between $(1, 2), (1, 3), (1, 4), (1, 5), (2, 4), (2, 5), (3, 5), (4, 5)$.
It can be proven that no solution with fewer than operations exists, so the answer is .
