Aha! Raul's solution can be rewritten as ,"_2/^:3 >zz
(negative rank is quite a useful concept). Since ,. is (exactly) ,"_1 the two-dimensional solution is ,"_1/^:2 >z Extending the pattern, we can reduce a blocked array using merge =: 3 : 0 r =. #$y ,"(1-r)/^:r >y ) This works on block arrays with large rank.
