Does this work?
Thanks for defending my honor!

I'm interested in how you estimate the difficulty of each problem. So I look forward to reactions like: b > a = d > c ( c is easiest ) or b = 500 s, a = d = 100 s, d = 40 s. ( for this 7 kyu, s for seconds ) or b = 4 k, a = d = 6k, d = 8k. (...)
1s 5s 2s 10s d < c < b < a
(whereas in a, I wanted to start with a2, but now, with hindsight, b3 is much cleaner)

I found c the hardest, because I have seen all of the rest before. The first move in c took me a while to find.

evaluation
together we find a and c the hardest, and d the easiest. Why did I test you like this? Because I'm doing this book for the third time now. And everytime I get stuck at a. I focus at b1 as initial move and than it is too difficult to solve by head. For the other ones I developed a feeling from previous times. Even not blessed with unkx80's memory capacibilities. So why no feeling for problem a. Because of the false solution, may be. Why false? Because it gives white a sente move along the edge.

Lesson learnt: stick to Kageyama's fundamentals: first try is to reduce eyespace. Helps also in problem c.
goes running, but the corner dies
