We calculate the minimal number of queries sufficient to find a local maximum point of a function on a discrete interval, for a model with \(M\) parallel queries, \(M\geqslant1\). Matching upper and lower bounds are obtained. The bounds are formulated in terms of certain Fibonacci type sequences of numbers.
