Shoulda called it a mate in 5!
Again... no. There are two possible mates at the end (5. Qh6# or 5. Rh1#), and so it's not a "Mate in 5" puzzle. Directmate puzzles have unique solutions. This also answers the age-old question of why the game was not played up to the end.

Every Check should also be considered with a mating net.
