"""
Problem 15: https://projecteuler.net/problem=15

Starting in the top left corner of a 2x2 grid, and only being able to move to
the right and down, there are exactly 6 routes to the bottom right corner.
How many such routes are there through a 20x20 grid?

Solve by explicitly counting the paths with dynamic programming.
