Tower Breakers


Problem Statement :


Two players are playing a game of Tower Breakers! Player  always moves first, and both players always play optimally.The rules of the game are as follows:

Initially there are  towers.
Each tower is of height .
The players move in alternating turns.
In each turn, a player can choose a tower of height  and reduce its height to , where  and  evenly divides .
If the current player is unable to make a move, they lose the game.
Given the values of  and , determine which player will win. If the first player wins, return . Otherwise, return .

towerBreakers has the following paramter(s):

int n: the number of towers
int m: the height of each tower
Returns

int: the winner of the game


Input Format

The first line contains a single integer , the number of test cases.
Each of the next  lines describes a test case in the form of  space-separated integers,  and .
