The 1st one took me about one minute. I knew it should have queen sacrifice somewhere. And it was 3 moves, Nf5, Qg6 and Rh3. Maybe the 4th move was removing the king off the board!!! The 2nd puzzle took me seconds...

How on earth could anyone solve the first one? It was a mate in FOUR, not a mate in three.
Actually (as somebody has already pointed out) it's a mate in 5.

Of course it's impossible to solve that puzzle as a mate in three. Anyone who said they got it easily is fibbing. Or they can't count to three.
Oh my god, if only it had said MATE IN FOUR then I would so totally have solved it in .02 seconds, but because it says mate in THREE I my mind was completely blown and I could figure out anything AT ALL!1!@ That's the ONLY reason it took me so long I swear

SmyslovFan you're absolutely right. I just looked it again and I saw after Rh3+ that black can cover the check by Nh6 and, after it's mate with Rxh6#. Another thing that I overlooked with the 2D view (screen view) With a 3D (real board) I would surely noticed that. Thanks for the post!
Read the topic? Whatever will you expect next, BQ?

Actually, it was mentioned 3 times (including by me)...and only 1 used an engine.
It didn't bother me even when I was doing the problem, why does it still bother you a month after the fact?
And for the last time...it's a mate in 5!!!!!
Grrrrr.
10 seconds. The second one was a joke.
