( "3 points": tricky for Bent 4, a confusing shape... )
If W never has time to fill in both throw-in spots, then W is dead.
However, if W manages to fill them in, W can still get Bent 4:

@EdLee:
Yes, on Problems 1 & 2. Good start on Problem 3.
@Shaddy:
Looks good for first two problems. Ko is the solution for #3, but maybe you can do a bit better if white responds at :w2:, as in your diagram?

I'm on vacation right now, and I'll be going to the US Go Congress after. So let's postpone this competition until mid-August.
