Beautiful

What I like the most is that not all the moves are checks to force the next black king's move, which I think is what you could expect after the queen sac.

Maybe I haven't seen enough puzzles to reach that conclusion but I think that's the key point for such a low solved rate.

once the queen is sacced the next is obvious imo...

but yeah generally moves which don't check lead to a lower solved %

Not the easiest easy puzzle I've ever seen.

I could tell it was a queen move first, but I was just trying to find any queen move that was safe. Once I saw the queen sac though it was easy.

The queen move was easy

the second move took some time. Loved this one!

Snappy..

Another that starts with a check..however, once known ending is easy...
