Hi. This problem is from the Brazilian team selection test for the IOI and I don't know anyone that solved it nor the official solution. Any help would be appreciated!↵

**Simplified Statement**: You are given an unweighted undirected tree with $N$ nodes and $Q$ queries. Each query gives two nodes $U$ and $V$ and it asks for the maximum path that goes through it. Note that this edge might not be in the initial tree and if this is the case it will only exist in this query. ↵
↵
**Input**: The first line contains only the integer $N$ ($2 \leq N \leq 10^5$). The next $N-1$ lines contain the edges of the tree. Next line contains only the integer $Q$ ($1 \leq N \leq 10^5$). Next $Q$ lines contain two nodes $U_i$ and $V_i$ — the i-th query.↵
↵
**Output**: Print $Q$ integers — the answers to the queries in the order the queries appear in the input.↵
