Anybody solve this yet? I've been able to get every row to a 0 except for one row.
Does anybody know any tips or tricks for this? I assume Nils looked this puzzle up somewhere and didn't create it on his own...
The prizes are pretty good for the Harvest.

I must have some serious anger issues cause I feel like going out to the street and kicking the shit out of the first person I see all the while screaming "Why am I so fucking stupid"

the nerds were useless. they've all played something "similar to it" but even a name of the puzzle at this point would help

that guide doesn't really help  editting the java app to allow block modification would be a lot more useful. |

yea, that guide was total crap. however, the java app was a huge help. I just started a puzzle and hit solve and noticed a nice little trend.
the app starts in the lower right corner and just goes up by row grouping numbers into easy to break down segments. so for pretty much 1/2 to 3/4 of the right side of the board is 0 before you even need to worry about proper grouping.
