    // Given the constraints, we could afford a solution that is O(N*(R+W+C)),
    // or something of this sort. Naively, we could have tried all possible
    // locations for the upper left corner of the image in O((N + R) * C), and
    // then in O(N) checked how many rows this would actually take. To speed
    // this up, we can actually do something very similar - in stead of choosing
    // the full location, let's just choose the column in O(C). Now we can try
    // all possible options for the image starting below the row that ends with
    // word number i. More precisely, we can compute something like next[pos],
    // which corresponds to having our current row ending on word pos equaling
    // the number of the last word after one more row, but with an image here
    // (at the already fixed column). This next[.] can be computed easily in
    // O(log N) with binary search or O(1) with sliding window. Afterwards it's
    // enough to just try every possible position, and then apply
    // next[next[...]] from each position R times, to see where we would end up
    // after R rows. The candidate for the answer is then pref_rows[pos] + R +
    // suff_rows[next^R[pos]+1]. The slowest part here is computing next^R[pos],
    // as we can't afford a O(R) loop. However, we can do binary lifting and do
    // this in O(log R) instead. Overall, this solution would potentially be
    // still slow as it's in O(W * N * (log N + log R)).
    //
    // To speed this up further, we make two key improvements. First, we
    // precompute a table len_next[v][length] for every word v and every
    // available length, storing how many words fit starting from v with that
    // much space, using a sliding window in O(N * W) total, giving O(1) per
    // query instead of O(log N). Second, we replace binary lifting for
    // computing next^R[pos] with path compression similar to union-find. For
    // a fixed column, we need next^R[v] for each starting row's first word
    // v. We process rows j = 0, 1, ..., and for each, follow the chain
    // storing at each visited node both the final result and the number of
    // steps it compressed. When a later query passes through an already-
    // visited node v, it jumps directly to v's stored result and only extends
    // the chain by the remaining steps. Crucially, later rows always reach
    // shared nodes with more remaining steps (since the starting word is
    // closer to v, fewer steps were consumed reaching it), so the chain only
    // ever extends forward. This in practice is very quick and could maybe
    // be shown to be O(N) but I didn't get a clean argument after thinking for
    // a bit.
    //
    // Another option is to think of the tree where the parent of some position
    // is next[pos]. We want to find the K-th parent of each position, which 
    // can actually be done with a stack and a DFS: whenever we enter a node, 
    // we add it to the stack, while when we exit we pop it. It's always enough 
    // to just get the element at position depth(pos)-K, which we can do with 
    // a DFS in O(N).

There's an article of N words, with the i-th word consisting of Li letters. The article has to be printed in a journal on a page W characters wide (for simplicity, let's assume that the page can contain as many lines as necessary and that all characters have the same width). The algorithm of laying out the text on the page of the journal is as follows. The words are placed in order: 1-st, 2-nd, ·s, N-th. The location for the i-th word is determined by the following rules:
The word is placed in a block of Li consecutive unoccupied character positions in the same row.
The first character of the i-th word and the last character of the (i-1)-th word can't be in adjacent positions of the same row. (Obviously, this applies only for i > 1.)
The block for the i-th word must not stand earlier than the block for the (i-1)-th word. A block A is considered to stand earlier than a block B if A is in a higher row than B or if they are in the same row and A is located to the left from B. (This also applies only for i > 1.)
Out of all blocks satisfying to the previous conditions, the earliest one is chosen. The layout of a sample text on a page 20 characters wide is shown below:




In addition to the article, an illustration has to be placed on the page. The illustration takes up a rectangular area R rows high and C columns wide. The illustration is placed on the page before the text is laid out and it may be placed anywhere on the page. After the illustration is placed, all character positions covered by it are considered occupied and then the text is laid out according to the algorithm described above.

A row on the page is considered used if, after the illustration is placed and the text laid out, at least one character of the row is occupied. The total number of rows used may depend on the position of the illustration. For example, two possible final layouts of the illustration and the text are shown below, with one using 11 and the other 10 rows:




Given the dimensions of the illustration and a description of the text, place the illustration in a way that minimizes the number of rows occupied by the final layout.

Input
The input file contains several test cases. The first line of the file contains T (), the number of test cases. Descriptions of the T test cases follow.

The description of each test case starts with the integers N, W, R, C (, , 1 ≤ C ≤ W), followed by the description of the text of the article as N integers L1, L2, ·s, LN (1 ≤ Li ≤ W). The numbers may be separated by spaces and/or newlines.

It may be assumed that the sum of values of N over all test cases in the file does not exceed .

Output
For each test case, output a single line containing the minimal number of rows needed to lay out the article.
