Question
Suppose a sequence an, is defined as follows:a1 = 9/10, a2 = 10/11, an+2 = an+1an
Solution
To find the general term of the sequence, we can observe the pattern in the first few terms.
Given a1 = 9/10, a2 = 10/11, and the recursive formula an+2 = an+1 * an, we can calculate the first few terms:
a1 = 9/10 a2 = 10/11 a3 = a2 * a1 = (10/11) * (9/10) = 90/110 = 9/11 a4 = a3 * a2 = (9/11) * (10/11) = 90/121 = 10/12 a5 = a4 * a3 = (10/12) * (9/11) = 90/132 = 15/22
From this, we can see that the sequence is decreasing and the denominator is increasing by 1 each time. Therefore, the general term of the sequence an can be expressed as:
an = n / (n + 1) for n ≥ 1
This formula gives the same values as the given recursive formula for the first few terms, so it is a valid formula for the sequence.

You are given a sequence [a1,…,an][𝑎1,…,𝑎𝑛] where each element ai𝑎𝑖 is either 00 or 11. You can apply several (possibly zero) operations to the sequence. In each operation, you select two integers 1≤l≤r≤|a|1≤𝑙≤𝑟≤|𝑎| (where |a||𝑎| is the current length of a𝑎) and replace [al,…,ar][𝑎𝑙,…,𝑎𝑟] with a single element x𝑥, where x𝑥 is the majority of [al,…,ar][𝑎𝑙,…,𝑎𝑟].Here, the majority of a sequence consisting of 00 and 11 is defined as follows: suppose there are c0𝑐0 zeros and c1𝑐1 ones in the sequence, respectively.If c0≥c1𝑐0≥𝑐1, the majority is 00.If c0<c1𝑐0<𝑐1, the majority is 11.For example, suppose a=[1,0,0,0,1,1]𝑎=[1,0,0,0,1,1]. If we select l=1,r=2𝑙=1,𝑟=2, the resulting sequence will be [0,0,0,1,1][0,0,0,1,1]. If we select l=4,r=6𝑙=4,𝑟=6, the resulting sequence will be [1,0,0,1][1,0,0,1].Determine if you can make a=[1]𝑎=[1] with a finite number of operations.InputEach test contains multiple test cases. The first line contains the number of test cases t𝑡 (1≤t≤4⋅1041≤𝑡≤4⋅104). Description of the test cases follows.The first line of each testcase contains one integer n𝑛 (1≤n≤2⋅1051≤𝑛≤2⋅105).The second line of each testcase contains a string consisting of 00 and 11, describing the sequence a𝑎.It's guaranteed that the sum of n𝑛 over all testcases does not exceed 2⋅1052⋅105.OutputFor each testcase, if it's possible to make a=[1]𝑎=[1], print YES. Otherwise, print NO. You can output the answer in any case (upper or lower).
