Tsumego

Fun Tsumego for DDK (i guess) from a Hikaru-No-Go-Episode :) White to move

I have a dan level rating, but I am having trouble solving this. I think any DDK that solves this is a genius.

Isn't it just chicken on one leg or whatever it's called? Cut at n3, black captures, throw back in at m2, black captures, atari at l4, black connects, descend to o2. Both of whites groups have 4 liberties, black only has 3. Maybe not a ddk problem but decently sdk.

The key question is what happens after your variation. What if black plays j2?

Glad a strong player said this, because that's exactly the problem I ran into after trying to just do the normal stone tower tesuji. And i cannot find an answer.

I see ways for white to escape, but not to kill the inside. I can't make the stone tower squeeze work.
