Alice guesses the strings that Bob made for her.
At first, Bob came up with the secret string a consisting of lowercase English letters. The string a has a length of 2 or more characters. Then, from string a he builds a new string b and offers Alice the string b so that she can guess the string a.
Bob builds b from a as follows: he writes all the substrings of length 2 of the string a in the order from left to right, and then joins them in the same order into the string b.
For example, if Bob came up with the string a="abac", then all the substrings of length 2 of the string a are: "ab", "ba", "ac". Therefore, the string b="abbaac".
You are given the string b. Help Alice to guess the string a that Bob came up with. It is guaranteed that b was built according to the algorithm given above. It can be proved that the answer to the problem is unique.
The first line contains a single positive integer t (1≤t≤1000) — the number of test cases in the test. Then t test cases follow.
Each test case consists of one line in which the string b is written, consisting of lowercase English letters (2≤|b|≤100) — the string Bob came up with, where |b| is the length of the string b. It is guaranteed that b was built according to the algorithm given above.
Output t answers to test cases. Each answer is the secret string a, consisting of lowercase English letters, that Bob came up with.
4 abbaac ac bccddaaf zzzzzzzzzz
abac ac bcdaf zzzzzz
The first test case is explained in the statement.
In the second test case, Bob came up with the string a="ac", the string a has a length 2, so the string b is equal to the string a.
In the third test case, Bob came up with the string a="bcdaf", substrings of length 2 of string a are: "bc", "cd", "da", "af", so the string b="bccddaaf".
