It is now three years since I first asked for support, and I would like to sincerely thank everyone who has helped me. BrainBashers doesn't show adverts, and I continue to depend on the ongoing support from everyone who enjoys the site.
Read the Sudoku help page for the rules, and the techniques potentially required to solve BrainBashers Sudoku.
Sudoku is a game of logic – the object is to complete the grid such that every row, every column, and every 3 × 3 block contains the digits from 1 to 9. There is no mathematics required to solve the puzzles, just pure logic and reasoning.
The rows and columns are labelled 1 to 9, as are the 3 × 3 blocks.
Each cell is uniquely referenced, e.g. R2C5, for example, means the single cell in Row 2 and Column 5. Also, e.g. Block7 is the block numbered 7.

This is a completed Sudoku.
Each row, column and 3 × 3 block contains the digits 1 to 9.
The 'buddies' of a square are the squares that share a row, column or 3 × 3 block. e.g. the buddies of R3C7 are shown below.
Every square has 20 buddies.
