excellent puzzle..but technically wrong  !!

it seems that it takes atleast 8 moves to mate following
1. Rh4 Qh2+
2. Kf1 Qh1+(or if 2. Rxh2 gxh2+ 3.Kxf2 Nxc6 or 3.Kxh2 Ng4+ 4. Nxg4 Nxc6 where it takes many moves more)
3. Rxh1 Nxh1 (or if 3...h6 4. Ng6+ Kh7 5. Nxf8+ Kh8 6. Ne7 with mate at 7. Qg8+#)

then 5 more moves as per original soln

this is true even for another line 2...g2+ 3.Ke2 Qxh4 and again the 5 moves as per original soln

PS: don't have a chess engine and maybe wrong !
