stalemate puzzle?

you play as white and you try to win. it's not that hard once you get the first move.
The whole point is to get opposition on black.Afther 3.Kd5! -white took opposition and now white easy wins...
This is a well-known position. Some other interesting lines:
1...Ke7 loses to the pawn breakthrough 2.c6!
1...Kc8, 1...Kd8, and 1...Ke8 lose because White seizes the direct opposition.
1.Kd4 Kc6 2.Kc4 Kd7 3.Kd5 is an alternate solution.
Most lines eventually lead to:
In this final position, White still must be careful. If Kc7 or Kc8, it's stalemate. The winning idea is c6! bxc6 Kc7.
