I just finished spending about 30 minutes fiddling around with the numbers and came up with a solution. I then searched the net and found a couple people with even more time on their hands than me who have multiple solutions to this problem, as well as dealing with the numbers 1-12 in a 6x6 grid, using the numbers 1-8 in various languages, etc. Here is the site:
