Problem Description
Today, Soda has learned a sequence whose n-th (n≥) item is 3n(n−)+. Now he wants to know if an integer m can be represented as the sum of some items of that sequence. If possible, what are the minimum items needed?

For example, =+++=+++.
Input
There are multiple test cases. The first line of input contains an integer T (≤T≤), indicating the number of test cases. For each test case:

There's a line containing an integer m (1≤m≤109).
 
Output
For each test case, output − if m cannot be represented as the sum of some items of that sequence, otherwise output the minimum items needed.

 对于这种题,首先一开始就要对给出的公式进行研究,从这里入手是正道。

分析公式 3n(n−1)+1 ,若给出一个数n,假设要k个3n(n−1)+1加起来得到n,即 3n(n-1)k+k=n,注意到3n(n-1)k是6的倍数,那么求的是满足(n-k)%6==0的最小的k。还有就是要注意到1、2要特判,即k要从3开始枚举
