Is the fifth one correct? Or am I missing something, (highly possible Laughing). But after fxN it looks to me that White is material up and winning!

Yes, after 1.fxe3 Qh4+ 2.g3 then... nothing! 

RyanK, can you give the moves in the fifth one also?

how is #4 possible? i dont see a way to get the double check, the only way for that position is black to move into a check or white to take 2 turns
