+-- Maximum path sum I
+--
+-- Problem 18
+-- By starting at the top of the triangle below and moving to adjacent numbers on
+-- the row below, the maximum total from top to bottom is 23.
+--
+-- 3
+-- 7 4
+-- 2 4 6
+-- 8 5 9 3
+--
+-- That is, 3 + 7 + 4 + 9 = 23.
+--
+-- Find the maximum total from top to bottom of the triangle below:
+--
+-- 75
+-- 95 64
+-- 17 47 82
+-- 18 35 87 10
+-- 20 04 82 47 65
+-- 19 01 23 75 03 34
+-- 88 02 77 73 07 63 67
+-- 99 65 04 28 06 16 70 92
+-- 41 41 26 56 83 40 80 70 33
+-- 41 48 72 33 47 32 37 16 94 29
+-- 53 71 44 65 25 43 91 52 97 51 14

+-- NOTE: As there are only 16384 routes, it is possible to solve this problem by trying
+-- every route. However, Problem 67, is the same challenge with a triangle containing
+-- one-hundred rows; it cannot be solved by brute force, and requires a clever method! ;o)
