I was missing a true tool golf solution ... so I had to create one. Here it is:

Formulas are a little too short and the bar is a little to high for Obscura, but they look nice anyway.

part 1 
kept it simple and working.

Part 1 yeah this is going to be fine.

Part 2- Like a frying pan to the face. Finally mangled my solution out though.

Generate rowwwws, no macro yet. I really should have been able to think of a fancy regexy thing but couldn't, happy with my solution and solve time though.

Brute force for each level, created all possible 1 digit omissions and then copy and pasted my part one tools to test them all out.  Not mega elegant, not mega messy.

Day 2 in the bag. Let's go! I'm pretty proud of my solution for part 1...more or less all crammed into one formula tool! Part 2 got a little messy, but it worked!

FINALLY! I spent so long trying to solve Part 2 without a macro and ended up with a huge mess of tools. I was close but missing 2 records (based on what the eventual solution was). I finally gave up and built an Iterative Macro to mass test each group by removing one line at a time.
