Well this puzzle was very easy for many people but I think that it's not as easy to spot while in a game and he/she doesn't know the number of moves to mate. So this is a good puzzle for newbies to learn from. But I'm kind of tired of this Queen-sacs so every day on the easy puzzle the first thing I check is if it's possible to sacrifice the queen somewhere.

good idea, indra
When solving chess puzzles, it's good to follow Nezhmetdinov's advice: First look for a way to sac your Queen, then rooks, then Bs and so on.

Also, always look at the checks first. Even if they don't work right away, they usually will help you to organize a plan.
