If you take longer than that, then you haven't found the answer. FYI an 8 year old kid did this problem in 3 minutes.

Remember that it is only a solution once you can fill in that mysterious second move and deliver checkmate.

If anyone thinks that they have a full solution, they can hide it in the same way.
