I just came across the above puzzle. It ends at K+3N's v K+N. Says it is a theoretical win. Well that's obvious I said to myself. I put it on Fritz and it gives the obvious mate in 38 moves. Easy eh?
What is the point of puzzles if not to help you improve at chess? This is a ridiculous puzzle to include in tactics. It belongs in endgame training. Incidentally it is rated around 2800. This is a farce. Do people who do puzzle belong in the set 'cheaters'?
It's not expecting you to complete that endgame, just to get to the position.
