BUT, wait, why even take the knight? Why not Rc2 immediately after Nxf2??

In comment 34 (new numeration) is explained why 2.Qxf2 is not a good move. about not taking the knight: 2.Rc2, Qxh3+, 3.Kxf3, Qh2+, 4.Kf1, Qxc2.

No, 2. Rc2 Qxh3+ 3. Kg1 Qh1 4. Kxf2 or 3. Kg1 Rf6 4. Rxf2

It's the same as my proposition, white still lose a rook: 2. Rc2 Qxh3+ 3. Kg1 Qh1+ 4. Kxf2, Qh2+, 5.Kf1, Qxc2 (3. Kg1 Rf6 4. Rxf2 just won't happen). So you have to move as in dailypuzzle's version.

I see, fair enough, thank you.
