This problem is related to Problem <a href = "45467">45467</a>.Let's denote a list of N compounds as 1, 2, ..., N.

This problem is related to Problem <45467>.

Let's denote a list of *N* compounds as 1, 2, ..., *N*. You are then given a list of valid reactions for converting one compound to another (e.g. 1 --> 2), as well as the time it takes to complete them ( _completion time_ ). With this information, we can generate _reaction chains_. A reaction chain is a series of valid reaction steps taken one after the other. Examples are given below:

Given N = 4 and the following valid reactions:
  Reaction 1:    1 --> 2 takes 1.5 mins
  Reaction 2:    1 --> 3 takes 2.5 mins 
  Reaction 3:    2 --> 3 takes 0.6 mins
  Reaction 4:    3 --> 4 takes 4.1 mins 
  Reaction 5:    4 --> 2 takes 3.2 mins
  Sample reaction chains: 1 --> 3 --> 4         takes (2.5 + 4.1) mins
                          1 --> 2 --> 3 --> 4   takes (1.5 + 0.6 + 4.1) mins 
                          4 --> 2 --> 3         takes (3.2 + 0.6) mins

Note that conversion reactions can only move forward. But if the list states that converting to and from the same two compounds is possible, then a reaction chain can take only one of these paths.

Your task is this: Given a starting compound *S*, can you count how many reaction chains are possible _whose total completion time does not exceed *T* mins_?

Note that if multiple valid reaction steps are possible between two compounds (e.g. "1 --> 2 takes 1.5 mins" and "1 --> 2 takes 2.5 mins" both appear in the list), then reaction chains that take either of these paths are distinct. Lastly, for this problem, reaction chains must not contain duplicate compounds; otherwise, they become "cycles" rather than "chains".

The inputs to this problem are *R*, *S*, and *T*. The meanings of *S* and *T* are given above. Variable *R* is a 3-column matrix containing the list of valid reaction steps at each row _i_:

"Reaction _i_: *R*( _i_, _1_) --> *R*( _i_, _2_) takes *R*( _i_, _3_) mins"

Output the required number of reaction chains. You are ensured that:

* *N* and *T* are integers satisfying: 2 <= *N* <= 20 and 1 <= *T* <= 100.
* *S* and all elements in the first 2 columns of *R* are integers within [1, *N*].
* Completion times are decimal numbers within (0,10].
* Each compound 1, ..., *N* is mentioned at least once in *R*. Hence, *N* can be inferred from matrix *R*.

The following sample test case is the one illustrated above:

>> R = [1 2 1.5; 1 3 2.5; 2 3 0.6; 3 4 4.1; 4 2 3.2];
  >> reaction_chain2(R,1,5)
  ans = 
       3
>> reaction_chain2(R,1,10)
  ans = 
       6

In this example, all the reaction chains starting from Compound 1 are:

(1.50 mins) 1 --> 2
  (2.10 mins) 1 --> 2 --> 3
  (6.20 mins) 1 --> 2 --> 3 --> 4
  (2.50 mins) 1 --> 3
  (6.60 mins) 1 --> 3 --> 4
  (9.80 mins) 1 --> 3 --> 4 --> 2
