Largest Square Submatrix of all 1's

Find the largest square submatrix consisting entirely of 1s as fast as possible.

Input

A 10,000 x 10,000 matrix of uint8 values (0 or 1) on STDIN.

0, 1, 0, 1, 1
0, 1, 1, 1, 1
0, 0, 1, 0, 0
1, 0, 1, 1, 0

Output

Print the side length of the largest all-ones square submatrix to STDOUT. The answer is guaranteed to be greater than 1.

For the example above, the output is:
