#color(white)(12)color(white)(|)color(white)(-)color(black)(0)color(white)(.)color(black)(1)color(white)(.)color(black)(0)color(white)(.)color(black)(6)color(white)(.)color(black)(0)#
#color(white)(12)color(white)(|)color(black)(----)#
#12|color(white)(-)color(black)(1)color(white)(.)color(black)(2)color(white)(.)color(black)(7)color(white)(.)color(black)(2)color(white)(.)color(black)(0)#
#color(white)(12)color(white)(|)color(black)(-)color(black)(1)color(white)(.)color(black)(2)color(white)(.)color(white)(1)color(white)(0)#
#color(white)(12)color(white)(--)color(black)(----)#
#color(white)(12)color(white)(|)color(white)(-)color(white)(1)color(white)(.)color(black)(0)color(white)(.)color(black)(7)color(white)(.)color(black)(2)#
