Problem Statement:
|
||
|
|
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 triangle.txt (right click and
|
||
|
|
'Save Link/Target As...'), a 15K text file containing a triangle with
|
||
|
|
one-hundred rows.
