# 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 in p067_triangle.txt (right click and 'Save Link/Target As...'), a 15K text file containing a triangle
# with one-hundred rows.
#
# NOTE: This is a much more difficult version of Problem 18. It is not possible to try every route to solve this problem, as there are 299 altogether!
# If you could check one trillion (1012) routes every second it would take over twenty billion years to check them all.
# There is an efficient algorithm to solve it. ;o)
