 # DESCRIPTION : Solves problem 67 of Project Euler
 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 saved in e_67.data
