38% solve this and it gets 3 stars (less by the end of the day I think)

Others on the easy page get have 25% solve rates and are two stars, there is no consistency.
This isn´t even that bad taking into account black has a checkmate available so you know you have to keep white in check (or make him lose his checkmate somewhere).

It would appear that this was a hard puzzle not so long ago?

I don´t normally go looking for harder puzzles to solve so this was only two weeks ago?

I solved it and rated it three stars because once you figure out the first move, the next five moves follow naturally. If the puzzle started one move later, this would be just two stars. If it required more than one tricky move, I would have called it 4 stars.

I agree completely with Rich-Sposato!

I too gave it 3 stars because the first move was a bit tricky to find. Once the first move is made, the rest comes very easily. I suspect the solve rate will break 40% by the end of the day, and perhaps even climb up to 45%.

But you would all be wrong

I thought that when it was the hard puzzle a few weeks ago and it didn't change then!
