Failure  

unkx80: Yes, all these diagrams are perfect. =)

Ko  

unkx80: One final question for people attempting this problem: Is this an alternative solution?

Zephi: I'd have to say this isn't a solution because black (at this point) doesn't look as if he needs to capture. He could probably play at with no negative repercussions that I can see.

unkx80: Correct. =)
