Hi Letum,
It happens. Humans ( and machines ) make mistakes sometimes.
The puzzle needs to give :black: another liberty.
Which book ?

( Now it appears :black: has (3 outside libs) + (1 shared),
and :white: has (5 libs) + (1 shared), so :black: still appears the underdog. :study: )

The problem is from Jump Level Up book one. The answer diagram didn't explain much. Thanks for the reply. I thought that maybe the problem had an error, but was not sure.
