One Thousand and One Life-and-Death Problems / Problem 75 discussion

Solution Diagram  

This lives.

[Diagram]
Ko threats  

White gets W1, W3, and W5 at one of the white+circle points; a total of three ko threats.

[Diagram]
Is this also a solution?  

A question was raised: Is B1 also a solution? The answer is given below.

[Diagram]
Failure 1  

This B1 fails. White plays W2 and the shape is dead. If at any time Black captures the four White stones with B3, then white+circle kills (Black cannot make two eyes due to damezumari).

[Diagram]
Failure 2  

B1 looks fancy, but it fails because of the same reason (W4 at white+circle).
