Project Euler Problem 117: https://projecteuler.net/problem=117
Using a combination of grey square tiles and oblong tiles chosen from:
red tiles (measuring two units), green tiles (measuring three units),
and blue tiles (measuring four units),
it is possible to tile a row measuring five units in length
in exactly fifteen different ways.

How many ways can a row measuring fifty units in length be tiled?
NOTE: This is related to Problem 116 (https://projecteuler.net/problem=116).
