+Project Euler Problem 116: https://projecteuler.net/problem=116
+
+A row of five grey 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.
+
+    |red,red|grey|grey|grey|    |grey|red,red|grey|grey|
+
+    |grey|grey|red,red|grey|    |grey|grey|grey|red,red|
+
+    |red,red|red,red|grey|      |red,red|grey|red,red|
+
+    |grey|red,red|red,red|
+
+If green tiles are chosen there are three ways.
+
+    |green,green,green|grey|grey|    |grey|green,green,green|grey|
+
+    |grey|grey|green,green,green|
+
+And if blue tiles are chosen there are two ways.
+
+    |blue,blue,blue,blue|grey|    |grey|blue,blue,blue,blue|
+
+Assuming that colours cannot be mixed there are 7 + 3 + 2 = 12 ways
+of replacing the grey tiles in a row measuring five units in length.
+
+How many different ways can the grey 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?
+
+NOTE: This is related to Problem 117 (https://projecteuler.net/problem=117).
