How to solve Chipped Tree ?

The thing to note is that, if you decide to keep chip at some node (say N) then it will be better to transfer the chip to it’s children(*if it has one) as number of children will always be >= 1 and hence you can increase the number of nodes having chips.
Thus the solution is on first iteration we will transfer the chip to nodes with height 0,then to 1 and so on.

Anyone interested for teaming up with me for exun finals?
