Nice job! I initially thought about using reduced-row echelon form, but the matrices all had infinitely many real solutions so I couldn't figure out how to proceed. Instead, I scanned Wikipedia for a bit, found the two-phase simplex algorithm, spent two days getting it to work on paper and another day implementing it.

And the reward?I'm not even done because ~10% of the systems have non-integer optima, so I still need to use cutting planes to add extra constraints to get the integer optima.
