Q: algorithm for project euler problem no 18

Valentino RuProblem number 18 from Project Euler's site is as follows: 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 th...

What's the expectation of questions like this? He shows research, but it's Euler so does this fall under same category as Homework?
What is expected regarding homework for that matter with research shown? Hints but not answers?
It occurs to me the other day I gave someone a direct algorithm not even thinking about it because I was thinking it was to be actually applied in developing something, but it occurs to me I may have simply given a homework answer..

grumble.. I'm going to have to go home and start reading the algorithm design manual again so I can solve that problem tonight..

@JimmyHoffa that's a maximum spanning tree
 
user20683
I think
 
user20683
well sorta
 
user20683
a partial span
 
user20683
actually probably not even that

it's a depth first search
 
user20683
or some variant there of

there a youtube vid of a music video that uses scenes from some anime but the desc doesn't identify the anime
theres 20,000 comments on the vid so i think its likely the name is contained within one of these comments
the "see all comments" page paginates by ~490 comments
no nvm i think i know what to do lolz

@MichaelShaw: The phrases in the close message are intended to be as all-encompassing as possible. Some questions are closed because they are ambiguous, others because they are vague, incomplete or rhetorical. This one was closed because it was overly broad. It's not always difficult to tell what is being asked, but it can still be "Not a Real Question." — Robert Harvey 2 mins ago

@WorldEngineer That's the problem with algorithms, they always appear to mean one thing but turn out to mean something completely different.
