MAIN113 - Special String |
A string of letters X, Y, Z is special if there are three consecutive letters from which one is X, one is Y, and one is Z. For example, XYZXYZ is special, while XXYYZ is not. Your task is to calculate how many such strings of length n are not special.
Input
First line contains an integer T (1 <= T <= 30) which denotes the total number of test cases. Each test case contains an integer N (1 <= N <= 30) in a single line.
Output
For each test case print total number of strings which have a length N and are not special.
Example
Input: 1 2 Output: 9

Annoyingly bad statement! Consider a set of strings of length n, made only of letters "x", "y" and "z". Compute number of such strings that don't contain a substring of size 3, in which each letter is different (eg. any substring that is a permutation of "xyz"). For example, s = yzxzx is a special string because len(set(s[0:3])) = 3. |
