Remember, in cflux's puzzle there is always a threat for a back-rank mate for Black.
Ya that's why 4...Qf6 forcing a queen trade is good
I think you are both misunderstanding each other. if 3.Qf6 black mates with Qc8+ (this, I'm guessing, is what Stategic play is thinking about) whereas 4.Qf6 (instead of my suggested h6) forces Q-trades.
this does make your position tricky to make into a tactic cflux; cut it too short and its boring, make it longer and then there are several ways to win. (e.g. 4.h6 and 4.Qf6 both work. the latter being the better)
Katona's made it clear: puzzles with clear lines are what is need.
I stand corrected. 1...e2 2. Rxf8+ Qxf8 3. Qe5 Qd1+ 4. Kg2 Qf6 is how it should go.

I think what Mr. Blackadder was saying was that these are some of the flaws:
Basically, there are at least 5 ways to get out of that mate. 2... a5 is a bad move.
This is probably the best tactic I managed to find in live chess
All the moves are largely superior to their alternatives.

I left the continuation to the moderator since the line you propose is the one showing the main idea, but it is not the best for white:
I couldn't decide which one show really.

Vipera_raddei, regarding puzzle 102, I don’t like starting puzzles with easy moves, so I started the puzzle one move later. It can lead to low rated puzzles with low pass rates.

nwei, 108th puzzle http://www.chess.com/tactics/server?id=310955. Please try to exclude alternative winning lines from future submissions.
Balachandar, nice tactic but unfortunately there are alternative winning lines.
Thankyou Chessgm8, 109th puzzle http://www.chess.com/tactics/server?id=274065 for black instead of for white. ClavierCavalier, I read your post after creating the above puzzle. Thankyou for your helpful input.
If anyone realizes their puzzle needs altering, please edit your original post.
Strategicplay, Puzzle1 unfortunately 43.h4 is also winning. For the second puzzle unfortunately 2.Kd5 is as strong as 2.Bc3. Please use an engine to check for ambiguity.
Thankyou Vivinski, 110th puzzle http://www.chess.com/tactics/server?id=396049
Unfortunately after Rh8 in the next puzzle both Rg5 and Rg6+ are winning.

Unfortunately Chessgm8, the Anastasia mate is ambiguous with 3.Qf5 also being winning. However it does provide the 112th puzzle http://www.chess.com/tactics/server?id=349661
Powerlevel_9001 nice drawing puzzle, 113th http://www.chess.com/tactics/server?id=423725
