unkx80: Yes, monkey jump is the solution.

No ko.

Gogobera: B2 and B4 look to make a second eye, forcing W3 and W5. I initially thought black could make ko here, after white captures at a. However, white's move is at b. If black captures, white throws in at W1. Black captures at b followed by white a, leaving black one eye only.

[Diagram]

White fails, giving black ko.

[Diagram]

No ko

symplicity: There's not even a ko in the "failure" diagram. This is what the position in the previous diagram actually looks like after black's last move. White just connects at a.
