My question:
No question! I was missing something obvious

If you say no, Elwood and I will come here for breakfast, lunch, and dinner every day of the week.

Not really, this is a self atari by Black!
The fact Black can't play it means White kills, so it's not so good for Black really

i think you missed something on the picture..
"The more we think we know about

That was a really interesting blindspot with diagrams for me actually. The second I saw your 4 I assumed it captured 3, because else why would you play it? Actually going through the numbers sequentially didn't happen until I re-read magicwand's post
Happily I started reading this thread. I solved the problem looking forward to the hidden parts. Only to find out there was no problem. Maybe you should edit the unhidden part of your first post just to mention that you withdraw your problem. Actually this is also a lesson for me to learn because I also too often started a new thread based on some stupid error. No way to withdraw a thread, or is there?
