Day #37 December 11th
5 yrs ago no solutions to the advanced problem were posted. Maybe because the issues with the previous series. So solve it this time on your own risk as in real life.

Note: 5 to the right of 2 would fail because after 6 and the throw in at 7 white connects at 5

This ko is better for black. If white takes the ko and black takes the two stones, white still has to connect. In the other ko, white connected, then black took 2 stones.

[go]$$Bc a&b are miai for B after this sequence
