Can you solve it now? What about now? What about...

For lessons, as well as threads about specific moves, and anything else worth studying.

I've seen all three of these multiple times but could never solve the third one. I believe that after many attempts, it's okay to look at the answers to tsumego to reveal to yourself what you are missing, and so I just did so. Cool problems :).
We don't know who we are; we don't know where we are.
Each of us woke up one moment and here we were in the darkness.
We're nameless things with no memory; no knowledge of what went before,
No understanding of what is now, no knowledge of what will be.

I am like DE. I can never solve the third problem. The interesting question here (though obviously irrelevant for me :) ) is whether presenting the progression of problems the way Araban did makes it harder or easier to visualize the solution to the third problem?

I presume this is the answer to the third problem?

After this, the techniques from the previous two problems apply.
This is the sort of problem I can solve if I know there is a solution, but would almost certainly miss in a real game.
