Question
Although Max was the favourite to win the Chess competition, Bob turned the tables.This means that _____ Bob won the competition. Bob did not allow Max to play chess. Bob stopped Max by turning the table. Max won the competition as expected.
Solution
The phrase "Bob turned the tables" is an idiom that means Bob unexpectedly won, despite Max being the favorite. So, the statement "This means that _____ Bob won the competition" should be filled in as "This means that indeed Bob won the competition." The other statements are incorrect. The idiom does not imply that Bob stopped Max from playing chess or physically turned a table. It also does not mean that Max won the competition as expected.

Alice and Bob came up with a rather strange game. They have an array of integers a1,a2,…,an𝑎1,𝑎2,…,𝑎𝑛. Alice chooses a certain integer k𝑘 and tells it to Bob, then the following happens:Bob chooses two integers i𝑖 and j𝑗 (1≤i<j≤n1≤𝑖<𝑗≤𝑛), and then finds the maximum among the integers ai,ai+1,…,aj𝑎𝑖,𝑎𝑖+1,…,𝑎𝑗;If the obtained maximum is strictly greater than k𝑘, Alice wins, otherwise Bob wins.Help Alice find the maximum k𝑘 at which she is guaranteed to win.InputEach test consists of multiple test cases. The first line contains a single integer t𝑡 (1≤t≤1041≤𝑡≤104) — the number of test cases. The description of the test cases follows.The first line of each test case contains a single integer n𝑛 (2≤n≤5⋅1042≤𝑛≤5⋅104) — the number of elements in the array.The second line of each test case contains n𝑛 integers a1,a2,…,an𝑎1,𝑎2,…,𝑎𝑛 (1≤ai≤1091≤𝑎𝑖≤109) — the elements of the array.It is guaranteed that the sum of n𝑛 over all test cases does not exceed 5⋅1045⋅104.OutputFor each test case, output one integer — the maximum integer k𝑘 at which Alice is guaranteed to win.ExampleinputCopy642 4 1 751 2 3 4 521 1337 8 16510 10 10 10 9103 12 9 5 2 3 2 9 8 2outputCopy3101592NoteIn the first test case, all possible subsegments that Bob can choose look as follows: [2,4],[2,4,1],[2,4,1,7],[4,1],[4,1,7],[1,7][2,4],[2,4,1],[2,4,1,7],[4,1],[4,1,7],[1,7]. The maximums on the subsegments are respectively equal to 4,4,7,4,7,74,4,7,4,7,7. It can be shown that 33 is the largest integer such that any of the maximums will be strictly greater than it.In the third test case, the only segment that Bob can choose is [1,1][1,1]. So the answer is 00.
