The challenge: Pack as many consecutive 3 digit numbers as possible into a 9x9 grid. The numbers may be read from any direction. No leading zeros.

Only a dummy would try to solve this one manually. It fairly screams WRITE A SOFTWARE PROGRAM TO SOLVE THIS PUZZLE !!!!!!!!

Just "grid and bear it"........
