Glanced at the exercises. It appears that two of them have numbers arranged in a triangle and ask for a longest path.
Hmm. Given such a triangle, let m be the largest number in the triangle. For each x in the triangle, replace it with m - x. For the resulting triangle, solve it to give the shortest path using one of the well known network shortest path algorithms.
