I forgot the author, anyway it is not hard as what you think. An easy one, white move and mate in 3.

Very cool. It took me longer than a minute, though. There were a few variations to sort through.

 Followed by Kf4, so that move doesn't work. There must be another move.

1.Rh8 Kg5  2.Bd8+ Kf4  3.Rh4# 

 

Yes, this is one of the lines that took me a while to see. Now that I look at it, I would be very impressed if anyone could have solved all the lines in under a minute.
