+! DESCRIPTION
+! -----------
+
+! A row of five black square tiles is to have a number of its tiles replaced
+! with coloured oblong tiles chosen from red (length two), green (length
+! three), or blue (length four).
+
+! If red tiles are chosen there are exactly seven ways this can be done.
+! If green tiles are chosen there are three ways.
+! And if blue tiles are chosen there are two ways.
+
+! Assuming that colours cannot be mixed there are 7 + 3 + 2 = 12 ways of
+! replacing the black tiles in a row measuring five units in length.
+
+! How many different ways can the black tiles in a row measuring fifty units in
+! length be replaced if colours cannot be mixed and at least one coloured tile
+! must be used?
+
+! SOLUTION
+! --------
+
+! This solution uses a simple dynamic programming approach using the
+! following recurence relation
+
+! ways(n,_) = 0   | n < 0
+! ways(0,_) = 1
+! ways(n,i) = ways(n-i,i) + ways(n-1,i)
+! solution(n) = ways(n,1) - 1 + ways(n,2) - 1 + ways(n,3) - 1
