This Challenge is derived from <http://code.google.com/codejam/contest/8274486/dashboard#s=p2 GJam March 2016 Annual I/O for Polynesiaglot>. This is the Large input set. The max Qraw is 100^500, (V+C)^L.

The GJam story goes that words are such that consonants are always followed by a vowel. Determine the number of possible words of length L using C consonants and V vowels. The final Q is to be modulo of the prime 1E9+7.

*Input:* [C V L] , C[1,50], V[1,50], 1<=L<=500

*Output:* [Q] max Qraw is 100^500; Q=mod(Qraw,1E9+7)

*Examples:* [C V L] [Q]

[1 1 4] [5] {aaaa,aaba,abaa,baaa,baba}  invalid are {bbaa, aaab} 
  [1 2 2] [6] {aa,ae,ba,be,ee,ea} invalid are {ab,eb,bb}

*Theory:* This is a huge value problem, on the order of (C+V)^L, thus brute force will not work. This is also a probability tree type problem. Tree calculations can be reduced to a linear in L evaluation. Inspection shows Q(1)=V, Q(2)=V^2, L=3 Q(3)=V^3+V*C*V+C*V^2 = V*Q(L-1)+V*C*Q(L-2)+C*Q(L-1).  There are no Cs at the Q1 level since can not end in a C. Qnext=f(Q(-1),Q(-2)). Qfinal=Q+C*Q(L-1)
