\textit{W. Y. Chen} and \textit{G.-C. Rota} [Discrete Math. 104, No. 1, 7-22 (1992; Zbl 0806.05010)] adduced the following conjecture about the \(q\)-derangement numbers \(D_n(q)\) (proved to be unimodal): the maximum coefficient in \(D_n(q)\) is that of \(q^{\lceil n(n-1)/4\rceil}\). The author proves this conjecture, discovering `the spiral property' in decrease of the coefficients from the middle.
