Along a road stand 25 poles in a row. Occasionally, a siskin lands on one of the poles, and immediately a siskin takes off from one of the neighboring poles (if there is anyone sitting on the neighboring poles at that moment). Also, no more than one siskin can sit on each pole at a time.

Initially, there are no birds on the poles. What is the maximum number of siskins that can simultaneously be on the poles?
