White to play and win.
Classic
For the first one, what is wrong with rerouting your king to a5, make him play Kb7, play a8=q+ Kxa8 and then play Ka6 and force a win with Kb8 b7? Looks pretty solid to me.
Full is Kc5 Kb7
Kb4 Ka8
Ka5 Kb7
a8=Q+ Kxa8
Ka6 Kb8
b7 Kc7
1-0
or am I hallucinating???😅
Qg7 got it right away

You are right! It is not a good puzzle, just a bit of instructive endgame theory warning you of the dangers of this position.
