P13555 【MX-X15-T2】Tie Ropes
Background
Little C planted a tree without leaves.
Description
Little C has a tree with $n$ nodes, numbered from $1$ to $n$.
Believing that ropes hold special meaning, he decides to tie at least $1$ rope between every pair of nodes $i$ and $j$ where $1 \leq i < j \leq n$ (since ropes are undirected, tying a rope between nodes $j$ and $i$ is equivalent to tying one between $i$ and $j$).

To achieve this, Little C performs a series of operations. In each operation, he selects a node $k$ as the root. Then, for every pair of nodes $(u, v)$ where $1 \leq u, v \leq n$, $u \neq v$, and **when node $k$ is the root**, $u$ is an ancestor of $v$ in the tree, he ties $1$ rope between nodes $u$ and $v$.
Little C wants to know the minimum number of operations (possibly zero) required to fulfill his original requirement.
Input Format
**The input contains multiple test cases.**
The first line contains an integer $t$, the number of test cases. For each test case:
- The first line contains an integer $n$.
- The next $n - 1$ lines each contain two integers $u, v$, representing an edge connecting nodes $u$ and $v$ in the tree.
It is guaranteed that the given $n - 1$ edges form a valid tree.
Output Format
For each test case:
- Output a single integer, the minimum number of operations required.
Explanation/Hint
**【Sample Explanation】**
For the first test case:

The tree structure is shown above. It suffices to perform one operation with $k = 1$ as the root, which will tie ropes between nodes $(1, 2)$, $(1, 3)$, and $(2, 3)$.
For the second test case:

The tree structure is shown above. We can perform two operations with $k = 3$ and $k = 5$ as roots:
- When $k = 3$, ropes are tied between $(1, 2), (1, 3), (1, 4), (1, 5), (2, 3), (2, 4), (3, 4), (3, 5)$;
- When $k = 5$, ropes are tied between $(1, 2), (1, 3), (1, 4), (1, 5), (2, 4), (2, 5), (3, 5), (4, 5)$.
It can be proven that no solution with fewer than $2$ operations exists, so the answer is $2$.
**【Data Range】**
| Test Case | Special Property |
| :--------: | :---------------: |
| $1 \sim 3$ | $t = 1$, $n \leq 10$ |
| $4 \sim 6$ | $n \leq 10$ |
| $7 \sim 10$ | $\sum n \leq 5000$ |
| $11 \sim 12$ | Each node has degree $\leq 2$ |
| $13 \sim 14$ | There exists a node with degree $n - 1$ |
| $15 \sim 20$ | No special constraints |
For all data, it is guaranteed that $1 \leq t \leq 2 \times 10^4$, $1 \leq n \leq 10^5$, $\sum n \leq 2 \times 10^5$, and the input forms a valid tree.
