        if (values.Count() == 0) 
            return values;
        if (values.First().Count() == 0) 
            return Transpose(values.Skip(1));

        var x = values.First().First();
        var xs = values.First().Skip(1);
        var xss = values.Skip(1);
        return
         new[] {new[] {x}
