+<p>There are <code>3n</code> piles of coins of varying size, you and your friends will take piles of coins as follows:</p>
+
+<ul>
+	<li>In each step, you will choose <strong>any </strong><code>3</code> piles of coins (not necessarily consecutive).</li>
+	<li>Of your choice, Alice will pick the pile with the maximum number of coins.</li>
+	<li>You will pick the next pile with the maximum number of coins.</li>
+	<li>Your friend Bob will pick the last pile.</li>
+	<li>Repeat until there are no more piles of coins.</li>
+</ul>
+
+<p>Given an array of integers <code>piles</code> where <code>piles[i]</code> is the number of coins in the <code>i<sup>th</sup></code> pile.</p>
+
+<p>Return the maximum number of coins that you can have.</p>

+<p><strong>Example 1:</strong></p>
+
+<pre>
+<strong>Input:</strong> piles = [2,4,1,2,7,8]
+<strong>Output:</strong> 9
+<strong>Explanation: </strong>Choose the triplet (2, 7, 8), Alice Pick the pile with 8 coins, you the pile with <strong>7</strong> coins and Bob the last one.
+Choose the triplet (1, 2, 4), Alice Pick the pile with 4 coins, you the pile with <strong>2</strong> coins and Bob the last one.
+The maximum number of coins which you can have are: 7 + 2 = 9.
+On the other hand if we choose this arrangement (1, <strong>2</strong>, 8), (2, <strong>4</strong>, 7) you only get 2 + 4 = 6 coins which is not optimal.
