#include<bits/stdc++.h>
using namespace std;
#define FIO ios_base::sync_with_stdio(false);cin.tie(0);cout.tie(0)
#define mod 1000000007
#define endl "n"
#define test ll txtc; cin>>txtc; while(txtc--)
typedef long long int ll;
typedef long double ld;
int main() {
    FIO;
    test
    {
      ll n,k; cin>>n>>k;
      n+=2*k;
      n/=(2*k+1);
      cout<<n<<endl;
    }
    return 0;
}

Second solution

from math import ceil

t = int(input())
while t > 0:
    t -= 1
    n, k = map(int, input().split())
    print(ceil(n / (2 * k + 1)))
