May the 4th

Start date: May 4, 2021, 5 p.m. UTC
Find the maximum number of disks that can be placed on two rods. The disks should be in decreasing order of size on the first rod and in increasing order of size on the second rod.

Are you ready for the next challenge, padawan?

Pursuant to the Council’s order, the first 3 jedis to solve the challenge perfectly in the least amount of time will be added to the Codility Hall of Fame, winning a package of swag and of course, bragging rights. Winner #1 would also get the Game Programming Patterns book by Robert Nystrom. We hope it’ll help you in your path to becoming the next Star Wars game creator.

Once May the 4th Challenge has ended (on May 18th), you will still be able to take the challenge, and gain certificates, but will no longer be in the running for prizes.

Through diligence, I gain knowledge.
Through knowledge, I gain power.
Through power, I win Codility challenges.
May the 4th be with you!
