Because nobody liked the previous ones here some others.
It is hidden because the left side shows the solutions of the previous problems.
As a sidetrack we can teach ourselves japanese by deciphering all the characters, like from Rosetta's stone.

I have no idea how to solve problem 190, as far as I can tell Black is dead.

Among these three problems, I found 190 the hardest because I initially focused in the wrong area.

Hints for 190:
There is no way out on the right side.

The solution is a ko.

BTW, that should be around 10 kyu, not less than 10 kyu. :)

Last call for problem 190. Come on, you guys. It is only 5 to 6 kyu. One long one way street. ( 11 moves )
Besides, it is very instructive. Never encountered such shape in your games before?

Second try. I was spoiled by unkx's hint though.

Here's my try for 190:

This is a two step ko, with Black taking first?

EDIT: Maybe the other side?

This is a direct ko if White plays :w4: @ :w8:, or in the sequence above where White connects, with :b9: capturing again at :b5:

Presumably White will fight the ko the first time though, and can play :w8: as a ko threat (because it's still a direct ko anyway)?

FURTHER EDIT: Actually, isn't this a two step ko again? Go is hard :(

@Topagz:

L&D wise, I see no difference between your two diagrams. I regard both as solutions (although I won't play the second diagram myself because the throw-in is unnecessary).

I think both are two step ko (http://senseis.xmp.net/?TwoStepKo).
