Wow
I screwed it up, but I'm surprised that there's not more than 11% success given the first move.

Well, NOW there's more than 11%...
...success, there's 12%! But it took 17 years. 😺

119/935 = 12%

After 1. Q×c6... the Move List has 35 (thirty-five) possible replies, all #1.
If you really like this puzzle, you can enjoy it for an hour or more, by studying all the variants!

E.g., 1. Q×c6...K×d4, 2. Q×f6#, or
1...R1×d4, 2. Nd3#, or
1...R×a1, 2. Q×d5#, etc., etc...
