Hello, Codeforces.

I've sent three submissions with different compilers on problem 1553E - Permutation Shift from last round and got different results(OK, ML 1, WA 1)

123344376

123363613

123363479

Then i've ran valgrind (g++ 11.1.0) and discovered strange "still reachable" memory addresses, somehow connected with ios_base::sync_with_stdio. Then I realised, that fast IO was in solve function, which is called in main $$$T$$$ times for each test case. Then I moved it to main and got OK in all compilers.

Pretty strange and interesting situation, so I am asking those, who know what's the problem to write about it in comments. Also I am glad to see critics of my code, especially if it will help to avoid situations like this.
