Rectangle-Free Points

You are given an n by m grid. Select as many cells as you can while avoiding every axis-aligned rectangle: there must not be two distinct rows r1, r2 and two distinct columns c1, c2 such that all four cells (r1, c1), (r1, c2), (r2, c1), and (r2, c2) are selected.

Input

Each run receives one grid size on stdin:

n m

n and m are positive integers. Official cases satisfy n * m <= 100000.

Output

Write:

k
r_1 c_1
...
r_k c_k

k is the number of selected cells. Each coordinate must satisfy 1 <= r_i <= n and 1 <= c_i <= m. All listed cells must be distinct. Extra output tokens are rejected.

Scoring

Let:

U(n, m) = floor(min(n * sqrt(m) + m, m * sqrt(n) + n, n * m))

Each valid case scores:

100 * min(k / (1.5 * U(n, m)), 1)

Higher is better. Invalid cases contribute 0 to the official average.

Public Validation

Public validation uses tiny deterministic grids. Official scoring uses hidden Frontier-CS grid sizes uploaded as private benchmark data.
