Thanks everyone, things to chew on. I'll look at the other itertools
functions mentioned. I did solve Proj. Euler 15 & 18 (and it's
corresponding 67), one more elegantly than the other, and I have given
some thought to how to break this one down, but haven't figured it out
yet. I think I might not be willing to wait a trillion years. I think
I'm going to stop development on this approach, both 1) because I
don't think it's going to work, and 2) because I might have learned
most of what I can from it, re: Python skills.

I am quite interested in the dynamic programming approach, which I
understand my approach to PE 18 was consistent with, but which I don't
yet understand how to apply more broadly or consistently. I'll do some
reading on it.
