Ok you got it!

Black b1 is the eye-stealing tesuji. White takes at a3, and Black throws in at b1 (a2 looses). White must take at a1 and then Black takes the ko at a2... then White cannot connect! So the ko goes on.
Of course Black will have to ignore two threats to win, but this result is still very good if you consider how bad his position was in the proposed diagram.
The lesson is: never despair, there may be something left to fight!
BTW, these problems are meant to be solved in your head only, that is without actually moving stones... to improve one's reading ability!
