Problem code: BWKNIGHT

All submissions for this problem are available.

How many ways are there to place a black and a white knight on an N * M chessboard such that they do not attack each other? The knights have to be placed on different squares. A knight can move two squares horizontally and one square vertically, or two squares vertically and one square horizontally. The knights attack each other if one can reach the other in one move.

Input :

The first line contains the number of test cases T. Each of the next T lines contains two integers N and M.

Output :

Output T lines, one for each test case, each containing the required answer for the corresponding test case. 

Sample Input :
3
2 2
2 3
4 5


Sample Output :
12
26
312


Constraints :
1 <= T <= 10000
1 <= N,M <= 100000

I'm tring to solve it on Java, but always get Runtime Error. Main class is "public class Main". It reads from standard input writes to standard output. What is the trick?

Do black knight and white

Do black knight and white knight refer to a knight on a black square and a knight on a white square, or is it just to distinguish between the knights?

@Dylan : just to distinguish

@Mike Mirzayanov: Try leaving the input stream open. It will be implicitly closed by the jvm. However, any buffered output stream should be closed/flushed explicitly.
