Problem Description

Little D is really interested in the theorem of sets recently. There’s a problem that confused him a long time.  
Let T be a set of integers. Let the MIN be the minimum integer in T and MAX be the maximum, then the cost of set T if defined as (MAX – MIN)^2. Now given an integer set S, we want to find out M subsets S1, S2, …, SM of S, such that



and the total cost of each subset is minimal.

 

 

Input

The input contains multiple test cases.
In the first line of the input there’s an integer T which is the number of test cases. Then the description of T test cases will be given.
For any test case, the first line contains two integers N (≤ 10,000) and M (≤ 5,000). N is the number of elements in S (may be duplicated). M is the number of subsets that we want to get. In the next line, there will be N integers giving set S.

 

 

Output

For each test case, output one line containing exactly one integer, the minimal total cost. Take a look at the sample output for format.

 

 

Sample Input

2 3 2 1 2 4 4 2 4 7 10 1

 

 

Sample Output

Case 1: 1 Case 2: 18

Hint

The answer will fit into a 32-bit signed integer.

四边形不等式好恶心。。

首先对所有的数据排序（根据方差的性质贪心）

我们用$dp[i][j]$表示前$j$个数，分为$i$段的最小代价

朴素的转移的话枚举前一段的断点

然后根据……&*（）￥#%……&我们可以知道这玩意儿满足四边形不等式

然后愉快的套上板子就好啦
