I just saw Fraser's post as I was preparing a summary of this challenge. Here
are my thoughts:
Run the highlights in jijx. Cut out the results. Include the definitions of
the main verbs and their tree forms. Add and simple ideas that you noticed
along the way. Paste them in a jfile. Name and save the file. Under 'action'
choose 'run display. Return to jijx to see your notes with results.
a=:2 3 5
b=:0 1 2 3
table=: 13 : '('' '';,.x),.y;x+/y'
table
5!:4 <'table'
'c';'d'
'e';'f'
('c';'d'),.'e';'f'
a table b
Over time the tree form will become more and more easy to follow, and you
will begin to write the tacit definitions directly. These little notes will
eventually seem so trivial that you can toss them away.

This is the same result as I found. It is almost the same as
Fraser Jackson sent from New Zealand, but he had a times rather than a plus
sign:
Table1=:('' ; [: ,. [) ,. ] ; */ NB.
Using a function for more than it was intended can have unexpected results. Kip
Murray found such an example and later showed a possible correction to
incorporate in your function.
I'm working on a new challenge for December. (I'm considering an EST
restriction since New Zealand had a decided advantage. The choice of EST is
where I live.)

table =: ('';[: ,.[) ,.];+/
is that according the rules of "simple J"
