Haha, don't worry Cipher. I was looking at A5 anyway and my moves were different (slightly). I just wasn't sure iif when you say "it's wrong" you mean the whole thing or possibly just a part. Now I know for the future that it could be either. wink Anyway, my answer:
(black's moves, white's move)
A5, A6
A4, A3 (takes A4 and A5)
A5, A4 (takes A5)
A5 (takes B3, B4, B5, A3, and A4)
And white should not be able to do anything to save itself. There is also a slight alternative (if white decides to take B6 instead of A5), but the outcome should be the same. In fact, it would kill off white sooner, so I'll list the alternative, just because:
A5, A6
A4, B7 (takes B6)
A3, B6
With only one eye left, black can kill white. With either of these, white won't have 2 eyes and is therefore killed. So either way would work. Don't know if either one is the right answer, but there ya go!

Hmm, ok, let's try this:
(black, white)
A5, A6
A3
-if-
white goes at A4 (takes A5)
A5 (takes B3, B4, B5, and A4)
-else if-
white goes at B7 (takes B6)
A4, B6
At the end of either case, white loses it's eyes and has no chance of winning! I'm a bit more confident in this answer, lol.

This one had me stumped for a while. That's because, looking at it, I thought black had only three real moves available to it- A3, 4, and 5. But I've got it now.
Black starts at A4. This gives white two options, both of which leave it dead. white can make the obvious play at A5, to take the lonely black stone at B5. If it does so, though, black plays at A3 and now white will never make two eyes, because the A,B6 group can't connect to its friends.
The other option white has, if it sees through that, is to make the nonobvious play at A3. This is what stumped me, until I realized that that move put its large group in effective atari, because black can drop its stone in the eye at D5 and take the batch. Good luck making two eyes when you've only got two stones left.
I dare you to find the flaw in that one! wink

Oh I got it! biggrin
Black - D2
The points E1 and D4 now become miai for life. Even if white plays at either of
these points black can still play at the other to make a second eye, thus being alive. ...Right?

Haha, if you want, you can have a max of 2 puzzles per week so you aren't trying to find a new one every other day. wink

I'd be more apt to pick it up if it weren't almost exactly like the last one.
