[Challenge] Pyramid building

You get a input value i, which stands for the bricks you have. Your challenge is to return a value l which stands for the height of the highest pyramid you can build with the given bricks. Only restriction is that for every stone higher than the ones on the ground there must be 2 on his bottom. eg. input ==> 6 pyramid: # # # # # # output ==> 3 if you have any question or solutions let me know in the comments and leave a like if liked the challenge :) happy coding

Ok to clarify : you dont have to build perfect pyramids, you only have to make them the highest without violating the constrains... so for the asked input 7 input ==> 7 pyramid: # ## #### output ==> 3 so most programs are correct by still building perfect pyramids and having left overs... maybe a new challenge will come soon where it is different ;)

I know mine doesn't strictly adhere to the rules, but I did it this way so that it would line up. I do, however, have a version that satisfies your rules. https://code.sololearn.com/cPcMEXNjSkEu/#cs
