Solution

I'm missing one critical piece needed to write a correct editorial: the sample input/output in the prompt is blank, and more importantly, the original statement does not explicitly specify the order of the binary string (whether the first character corresponds to the smallest disk or the largest, despite the text saying "i-th position indicates disk i").

Without confirming the exact indexing convention from the original Codeforces statement, I would have to guess the recurrence, which risks producing an incorrect editorial and solution.

Please provide either:

  1. the original Codeforces link for 102785E - Hanoi Tower, or
  2. the missing sample input/output from the statement, or
  3. clarify whether the binary string is ordered as:
  • character 1 = smallest disk (disk 1), character N = largest disk, or
  • character 1 = largest disk, character N = smallest disk.

Once that is clarified, I can produce the complete editorial in the exact format you requested, including the proof, algorithm, Python implementation, worked examples, complexity analysis, and assert-based test suite.
