Nostalgic, thanks.

I always like this one too:

If you want to check your solutions, or are feeling lazy, a couple of these are discussed in Cho Chikun's All about life and death. The ones I found quickly:

#1 is part 4 pattern 10 (page 138)
#2 is part 2 pattern 20 & 21 (page 70)
#4 is part 3 pattern 23 (page 112)
#5 is effectively part 4 pattern 26 (page 161)
#8 is part 5 pattern 22 (page 203)
#9 can be turned into Part 1 pattern 6 (page 8)

I wouldn't be surprised if the others were in there too, at least indirectly.
