2011 Problems

A simple game consists of a grid of **R**x**C** buttons. Each button will be
either lighted, or unlighted. Whenever you push a button, the state of that
button, and its (up to) four neighbors will toggle -- lighted buttons will
become unlighted and unlighted buttons will become lighted. Note that the
neighbors do not 'wrap' and thus a corner button has only two neighbors, while
an edge buttons has three.
In this problem you will be given an initial configuration of the buttons.
Your task is to push the right buttons so that, when you are done, all of the
lights are turned on. If there are multiple ways to do this, you should
determine the minimum number of buttons pushes that it can be done in.
### Input
You will first read an integer **N** the number of test cases. For each test
case, you will read two integers **R** and **C**. This will be followed by
**R** whitespace-separated tokens, each containing **C** characters. A 'X'
indicates a lighted button, while a '.' indicates an unlighted button.
### Constraints
* **N** = 20
* 1 ≤ **R**,**C** ≤ 18
### Output
For each test case you should output the minimum number of button presses
required to turn on all the lights. If there is no way to do this, you should
output -1.
