My favourite Android Go problem app. of not-entirely-awful problems presents this as an 8 kyu problem:

Without much time, I found this solution and couldn't refute it in my head:

Honestly, I didn't look for other solutions after finding this one. I'd have fun playing this way, in a game.


The app. thinks it's wrong. Is there anything wrong with it?

No, the app probably just expects :b3: and :b5: in reverse order. It is not uncommon for solutions to miss alternate order variants.

Both lines kill, but your solution is superior. :)
