The solution is really brain dead but the reason it is the solution is a bit more complicated. If the black pawn just promoted (instead of capturing and promoting) there's a Queen mate or Black ends up down more material. It feels very computery instead of a human puzzle.
The vast majority of puzzle are pulled from member games, based on engine evaluations.
