Sudoku Puzzles From Hell!

A Road Block is a point in puzzle solving where the traditional solving techniques are of no help.     Advanced techniques are required to move on.

The traditional techniques are:
  • Hidden and naked singles
  • Hidden and naked doubles
  • Hidden and naked triples
  • Hidden and naked quads
  • Locked candidates
None of these techniques will eliminate any candidates at a Road Block

Under each road block is a list of advanced solving techniques.  At least one of these techniques must be used to solve the puzzle.  Not all of the techniques shown are required. Often times different solving techniques will remove the same candidates from a cell  (there's more than one way to skin a fish).
