Ooh, interesting, I'll have to give that a try. Thanks!

(edit) Wow, that replaced my three lines of overly complex code without a hitch. classify is an operator I never really got the point of before. Beautiful.

Nice :D
How's the speed now?

[–] mykl 1 points 12 hours ago* (last edited 11 hours ago)

1.8s now. 99% of that in Sides. I've just had an idea though... ~~maybe too late for today though!~~

edit: prepending ≡⍚(-¤⊸/↧) toFields spared me from manipulating hundreds of irrelevant 0's, so time is very good now at 55ms.
