The Hard ones by definition don't require VH techniques. I've obviously missed a basic step - but right now I am stuck. Try it - without wings and URs and other fancy stuff.

I did find this one time-consuming, I must admit, and at one stage I began to wonder whether an "advanced " technique might be required. However, it wasn't! The stage I had reached was:
Code:

+-----------------+---------------+----------------+
| 137  8    1369  | 5    2   1679 | 167   136 4    |
| 1357 4    1356  | 367  367 8    | 12567 9   256  |
| 2    59   13569 | 3679 4   1679 | 8     136 56   |
+-----------------+---------------+----------------+
| 4    2579 259   | 8    1   679  | 256   26  3    |
| 358  1    23589 | 2369 36  69   | 4     7   2568 |
| 6    27   238   | 237  5   4    | 12    128 9    |
+-----------------+---------------+----------------+
| 58   25   7     | 4    9   3    | 26    268 1    |
| 18   3    128   | 67   67  5    | 9     4   28   |
| 9    6    4     | 1    8   2    | 3     5   7    |
+-----------------+---------------+----------------+


I don't whether this is where you might have got stuck. However, examination of Block 2 / Row 3 got things moving again.

Yep: I finished before reading your post - but the step you mentioned was where I got stuck. I should try harder next time before posting - but then again I thought this was a lot "harder" than the last VH.

Cheers

Based on the previous posts, I just had to try this one even though it's after my bedtime. At first I had my doubts too! But thanks to a fair number of naked doubles it fell apart quickly.
