Puzzle Rush

This was the first puzzle I played in a Puzzle Rush round, and it was rated 141, so what the HECK am I missing? How is this easy? I literally ran all 5 minutes of my time out trying to figure it out. Here’s the FEN: 6k1/1N3pbp/p5p1/3p1b2/8/1R2Q2P/q4PPK/8 w - - 0 1 (BTW that’s just from memory, but I think I got it right.)

No. I had studied the position for a straight 5 minutes, so I had pretty much memorized it.

ok but what's the relation between the FEN and the Position?

I see this was bumped, so I might as well show the position (by copy+pasting) the FEN.

ok so if you analyze it you see it's mate in 10 but that should not be 141 lol

That's my point.
