oh, ok, qxq and wherever the knight goes Nc5 or q a6 is mate

After QXQ Nc4 Qa6+ black can put the knight in the way. In that various white has to play Nc5 mate.

Bc1 with the idea to play Nb2 perhaps?

Edit: Actually I can't see anything wrong with QxQ followed by Nc5 either. Hopefully someone can point the solution(s?) out.

Edit2: Ok there's Nb3 to block mate for the second one.
