Black to kill

Confused: This problem is number 178 (level 2) of the [ext] Baduk Academy problems on [ext] http://gobase.org.

The proposed solution is B1. However, I'm at loss finding the proper sequence to kill the group when White replies at W2.

I'd be very grateful, if someone could give me a hint.

Dieter: The only thing I can think of is that there is a black stone intended at a. It could be a genuine mistake, because this position here is already enough to create damezumari for W2 at b.

Confused: Thank you, Dieter.

Bill: Most puzzling. Dieter's suggestion makes sense, but....

Black to kill

In this position the straightforward B1 kills. No need to get fancy.

Anyway, there seems to be a mistake somewhere.
