the one who suggested this.. he first asked me if i can solve it.. but i couldnt.. then posted in Royal chess (http://www.chess.com/groups/home/royalchess). but none of our members were able to solve it. then we knew it is such a precious tactic.. then as per jaidev's suggestion requested to add to tactics trainer..
his name is friedrich!!!

fwhoberg

It is difficult problem because Rh3!! sac is required after rather obvious moves. Since its pass rate is only 16% I think it should be ranked higher than 2500
yeah dr of oz, it will be in time. it's already at 2584

Very happy to say that I saw ...Rh3 before playing ...f5+. Plus, I kicked it down from 2600 to 2591!
Good puzzle.
Thankyou very much.
Pass rate is still
17.2%!
Seems like 31/180.
hei did you made it on first attempt?
