@Shaddy Yep. There are other variations for problem 3, but that's probably the most interesting one.

I should clarify for Problem 3: You don't need to save all the stones, necessarily. You just need to live.

Hi Kirby, Nice of you to clarify. ( Though it seems to be a standard, implied condition in all Go problems I've seen. E.g. Round 12, problem 2: B needs not save . )
