For the sake of simplicity (and partially relieving the time pressure), you
**are not** required to validate the dates you are given on the input (e.g. leap
years, days in months, etc.).
This is caused by the fact that you will be given just a timestamp that you
**don't** need to process in any (other than suggested ways for debugging).

### Queries
Querying the processed data is done by providing a license plate. You can expect
that the license plates are separated by `\n` (newline, also known as
_ňjůlajn_) **with no other whitespace around**.
