Question by Ibrahim Mesecan.

Max Discount

The promotional season is over. The administration is happy with the results. And, they want to continue the campaign with a small change. As in previous Buy3 Pay2 campaign, the clients are free to choose any consecutive 3 items in the given order. Then, the cheapest of the group (3 items) will be free. However, this time clients cannot change the order of items. The purpose is to maximize the discount.
