Solution To Question Mark Problem 2

[Diagram]
Diag.: Black to play and win

This is a solution to BigQuestionMarkProblem2.

The marked move seems to work, but it was the first to pop into my head, so I'm suspicious.. ;)




[Diagram]

It's not seki, either, since after filling outside liberties, black captures at 4 and the large white string is in atari.

This was the only other variation I could think of, but after noting that the eventual eyes at (a) and the marked black stone are false, it seems that again there is no hope for white.
