We haven't had one of these in a long, long time...and I miss them. But instead of waiting for one to appear, I figure I'll just start my own. I'll probably grab them from the handful of Go books I got in China. I'll try and post 2 a day.
I'll focus on tesuji problems for now, then later transition into L&D (unless people want more tesuji problems). I like tesuji problems because I feel they're more...practical. This is also beneficial for me because it'll have me opening up the books I bought and naturally solve them as I post them as well.

Are you expecting answers for white first, black first, or both?

I'm the last person to ask about tesuji problems, but Shaddy's solution to the bottom problem seems flawed.

Is there a better answer than favorable ko for the lower problem?

heh heh... I know what your source is! Unfortunately I cannot read it, it's in Chinese... Sometimes the second solution diagram seems to be a variation, not a wrong answer, I wish I knew how to look up the character that is different.
Also, I'm very happy to see that Shaddy came up with the same wrong answer I did when I tried that problem.
That which can be destroyed by the truth should be.

That was embarassing. I had seen the answer before, but had forgotten it, and then I had a brainfart and couldn't read it out. So I got another 4-5d to help me with it, and together we found the right answer, but then I posted one of our wrong variations >.<

First one is easy if you know the famous tesuji that inspires this site's favico, and insanely hard if you don't. After thinking about the second one for a while, I think it's a ko?

For the second one, I was missing the proper ordering of moves before, and I couldn't get it to work. I'm fairly certain I have it now:
