Here you go Weedhopper - the blandest puzzle in the history of bland puzzles! This one was created by putting the fudge block in the corner and then randomly shuffling the pieces inside the square about 100,000 times until it reached the top left.

Okay, after I stopped laughing long enough to control my mouse, it's rather better than I expected. You were correct in the other thread, that piece selection really helps. It's challenging enough to force backtracking, but still a smooth and quick puzzle. (Dare I say "bite-size"?)
The best part: when I finished, I got the same instant gratification feeling I get from Neko. "Okay, that was fun, where's the next one?" To torture an analogy, if the main level set is a full meal, a puzzle generator would be an energy bar. It's not as satisfying to linger over, but it's great if you just have a few minutes.
Update: Just tried out the shuffle in 1.04. That's really bizarre. Cool, but strange to play. I'm embarrassed by how much it improves my "Trapped in a Box" level.
