wow. I learnt a lot from understanding what and why is happening. Is this problem correct? It feels too complex to be correct, but I cannot find a mistake.

You better trust the pros. Ok can have a failure from publisher/reproducer but do that happen once in my experience? Btw on some app or federation newspapers I saw failures a few times. (Like on tsumego pro app, 2 times)
Time for an evaluation!
Almost four weeks ago I started this topic. I had been adding go puzzles by Hashimoto, Noubuaki and others for weeks, and thought why not share this with others.
In 27 days this topic got 612 views (22.7 views per day), 95 likes (3,5 like per day).
Not bad, I like it 
What are my plans?
My plans:
- going on with this topic until this is the best visited and most liked topic on OGS Forums
- making tsumego more popular (since started doing this I climbed two/three kyus!)
- selecting puzzles from other collections than my own ones (there are approximately 1400 collections containing more than 22.000 other puzzles on OGS)
- selecting collections you might like and bumping them so that they get the attention they do deserve
- do some window dressing of the puzzles (little bio of the players, how to study tsumego, etc.)
These are my plans, but maybe even more important and interesting is: what are your wishes? Suggestions, ideas, etc.?

I’m very happy with this thread.
I don’t like tsumego very much and it’s way more interesting to look at your daily selection rather than facing a 1000 puzzles collection.
I tried “black to play” site for a while. The puzzle ratings system works well, and it’s funny to start with easier puzzles and then climb to your level. But then I got stuck and quit.
These puzzles are too hard for me, but it’s nice to dig into an experienced player’s mind and to have a glimpse of what they can see.
Only additional feature I can think of is: sometimes sharing some easier puzzles, just to have the chance of solving one!

You have got a point. Will supply more often simple ones.
Very recognisable. Don’t like them too much myself. Too impatient for it 
But after adding hundreds and hundreds of puzzles to the Puzzles section, I am beginning to become fascinated by them.

Okay, @Lys here is a simple puzzle 
Black to start and live.

The second puzzle is a bit harder I think.
White to start and live.

I think it’s nice to mix in a few do-able ones
I do like that you’re highlighting the ones you probably enjoy yourself though!

You are completely right.
I should pay more attention to the level of the visitors to this topic. And then offer a go puzzle that is do-able but also challenging (or at least an invitation to do some serious thinking).
I did choose the ones I liked. Love the elegant subtlety of Shusai and Hashimoto puzzles

I failed the first. I had two moves but didn’t see the third! I feel so dumb! 
I almost got the second one though. I started well but I wasn’t convinced. That’s because I overlooked fifth move.
When I started playing my moves in the interactive puzzle, then I realized the move that I was missing.

I think they’ve been good choices anyway from the ones I’ve tried

I like what you do but I don’t like using the puzzles.
Ideally you could propose 2 very easy to feel good, 2medium to feel hehe not that bad, and 2 hard to feel lazy.
But what you do already is fine.
Black to play and live. Play the move White would love to play when Black would tenuki (play somewhere else on the board).

Black to play and kill the White group.

Black to start and capture the white stones.

The black group on the left is alive, but the double bamboo needs some attention. Black is to connect.

Strange puzzle, where you have to play both black and white
This isn’t that easy: the puzzle is just three moves, but then there’s a lot to explore.
At first those three moves weren’t enough for me.
That’s science fiction! 
What do you mean?
These were clear cut, but the last I just forgot to start where…
Yep this one is Crazy
Also the Black to connect was tough for me I couldn’t read it.
Interesting puzzles
