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.
