and then you connect the ko and then you resign 3 moves later?
Here's an easy kyu tsumego that resulted from that exact situation. White to live with those middle 6 stones. It's kind of obvious, but make sure you read it out completely

Re: kyu problem
I think I know what you're after but after 7 forcing moves and answers, 
leaves Black in a loose ladder and White's top group has two liberties. At that point, Black can atari that group from the inside. Or there's a variation I'm missing but in any case I wouldn't call it obvious.

Re: kyu problem
Knotwilg, I think you are overlooking one simple thing:
Still officially AGA 5d but I play so irregularly these days that I am probably only 3d or 4d over the board (but hopefully still 5d in terms of knowledge, theory and the ability to contribute).

Re: kyu problem
since the first problem was such a hit, here another little reading exercise from a recent game. Black to reduce white's "territory". This one should really be easy.
I would also consider that an easy problem, since there's no branching whatsoever. You just have to place the stones on your mental goban.
The points is that every move is essentially forced, you just have to do the work and count the liberties carefully. Kind of like that spiral ladder problem from Kageyama's Lessons in the Fundamentals of Go:in any case I wouldn't call it obvious
