Chiaki is interested in an infinite sequence , which defined as follows: where is the smallest positive integer not in the set .
Chiaki would like to know the sum of the first terms of the sequence, i.e. . As this number may be very large, Chiaki is only interested in its remainder modulo ( ).
There are multiple test cases. The first line of input contains an integer ( ), indicating the number of test cases. For each test case:
The first line contains an integer ( ) without leading zeros.
For each test case, output an integer denoting the answer.

There are 5 input files and my unoptimized python3 code runs about 1.1 sec per file.
The key is to stop looking at every term and instead look at the values used on the even steps.
The title is a hint: this is OEIS A001856, a classical self-generating difference sequence. (oeis.org)
Let
Then every even step is “add ”, and every odd step is just doubling.
So the real problem is: how do we get the sequence ?
Call a difference special if it is one of the adjacent even-step differences
Put every other difference into a set fail.
Now fix some limit . If we already built the original sequence until the last built term is even-indexed and bigger than , then no future non-special difference can appear:
So fail up to is final.
That means every number in that is not in fail will forever stay missing from the non-special differences, and the mex rule will pick them one by one as future 's, in increasing order.
So between two consecutive fail values , the 's are simply
That gives us long consecutive blocks.
Suppose before a block starts, the current term is an odd-indexed term , and the block is
For the -th pair in this block:
Define
Then
so
The sum added by full pairs is
So a whole block, or any prefix of a block, is computable in using pow(2, k, MOD).
failWe only need a finite prefix of the original sequence.
Build the original sequence directly from the statement:
While building, store all differences in a set diffs, and store all already-used special values in a set special.
Once the last built term is even and exceeds limit, all fail <= limit are final, so:
If limit is around the largest query, the built prefix length is only , because every two steps the sequence more than doubles.
So:
This is easily fast enough in Python 3.12.

This matches the sample output and is fast enough for the full constraints.
