Description
Dao was a simple two-player board game designed by Jeff Pickering and Ben van Buskirk at 1999. A variation of it, called S-Dao, is a one-player game. In S-Dao, the game board is a 4 * 4 square with 16 cells. There are 4 black stones
and 4 white stones placed on the game board randomly in the beginning. The player is given a final position and asked to play the game using the following rules such that the final position is reached using the minimum number of moves:
An example of a sequence of legal moves is shown in the following figure. This move sequence takes 4 moves. This is not a sequence of legal moves
using the least number of moves assume the leftmost board is the initial position and the rightmost board is the final position. A sequence of moves using only 3 moves is shown below.
Given an initial position and a final position, your task is to report the minimum number of moves from the initial position to the final position.
-
1. You first move a white stone, and then a black stone. You then alternatively move a white stone and a black stone.
2. A stone can be moved horizontally, vertically or diagonally. A stone must be moved in a direction until the boarder or another stone is encountered. There is no capture or jump.
3. During each move, you need to move a stone of the right color. You cannot pass.
An example of a sequence of legal moves is shown in the following figure. This move sequence takes 4 moves. This is not a sequence of legal moves

using the least number of moves assume the leftmost board is the initial position and the rightmost board is the final position. A sequence of moves using only 3 moves is shown below.

Given an initial position and a final position, your task is to report the minimum number of moves from the initial position to the final position.
Input
The first line contains the number of test cases w, w <= 6. Then the w test cases are listed one by one. Each test case consists of 8 lines, 4 characters per line. The first 4 lines are the initial board position. The remaining
4 lines are the final board position. The i-th line of a board is the board at the i-th row. A character 'b' means a black stone, a character 'w' means a white stone, and a '*' means an empty cell.
Output
For each test case, output the minimum number of moves in one line. If it is impossible to move from the initial position to the final position, then output -1.
Sample Input
2 w**b *wb* *bw* b**w w**b *wb* *bw* bw** w**b *b** **b* bwww w**b *bb* **** bwww
Sample Output

题目大意
4*4的棋盘,初始4个黑棋子4个白棋子,摆放位置随机。问最小多少步能达到最终状态。移动棋子有以下规则:
1、先移动白棋子再移动黑棋子再白黑交替移动
2、8个方位移动,每次移动到碰到边界线或者是有别的棋子挡住为止
输入初始状态,最终状态,输出最小步数
