[GKS 2022 #H] Magical Well Of Lilies
Problem Description
There is a deep magical well in a forest that has some lilies on its waters. You have a large empty basket and some coins, and are standing next to the well. You have more coins than there are lilies in the well. The well has taken note of the fact that your basket is empty.
If you toss coin into the well, the well will toss out lily into your basket. If you toss coins at once into the well, the well will take note of how many lilies it has tossed out into your basket so far. If you toss coins at once into the well, the well will toss out as many lilies into your basket as it had last taken note of. If you toss coin, or coins at once, into the well, and there are not enough lilies left in the well, the well will not toss out any lilies.
Given the number of lilies in the well at the beginning, return the minimum number of coins you will need to toss into the well to make it toss all of its lilies into your basket.
Input Format
The st line of the input gives the number of test cases, . lines follow.
Each line contains a single integer , representing the number of lilies in the well at the beginning.
Output Format
For each test case, output line containing Case #: , where is the test case number (starting from ) and is the minimum number of coins you will need to toss into the well to make it toss out all of its lilies into your basket.

Case #1: 5
Case #2: 15
Hint
For test case #, when there are lilies in the well, the least number of coins needed is . We toss them, at a time, into the well, and the well tosses out the lilies, at a time, into our basket. No other sequence of moves results in a better solution, so is our answer.
For test case #, first, we toss coins, at a time, into the well, and the well tosses out lilies, at a time, into our basket. Next, we toss coins at once into the well, and the well takes note that it has tossed out lilies into our basket so far. Then, we toss coins at once into the well, and the well tosses out lilies (that it took note of) into our basket. Then, we toss another coins at once into the well, and the well tosses out another lilies into our basket. Finally, we toss another coins at once into the well, and the well tosses out the final lilies into our basket. Total coins needed is . Getting lilies out of the well is not possible with any lesser number of coins, so is our answer.
