-- 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
-- 70 11 33 28 77 73 17 78 39 68 17 57
-- 91 71 52 38 17 14 91 43 58 50 27 29 48
-- 63 66 04 68 89 53 67 30 73 16 69 87 40 31
-- 04 62 98 27 23 09 70 98 73 93 38 53 60 04 23

-- 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)
