This triangle has many paths from top to bottom. Find the paths, following these directions:
* You may only travel in a downward direction, not across a row.
* As you travel downwards, you may only move to one of the two nearest points.
* You must connect exactly one point in each row as you travel.

If you want to go downwards so you have 5 step ahead.
* As you travel downwards, you may only move to one of the two nearest points.
it means in every step you have two choice.
so the answer is 2^5=32
if you don't understand or I'm wrong about it please tell me.
