Puzzle 46017 (Fails to acknowledge another Mate-In-5 line)

Penalizes you for correctly identifying the Qc7+ line as winning.
40.Qc7+ Ka4 41.Ra3+ Kxa3 42.Qa5+ Na4 43.Qb4+ Kxa2 44.Qb3#
or 1.Qc7+ Ka4 2.Ra3+ Kxa3 3.Qa5+ Na4 4.Qb4+ Kxa2 5.Qb3#
Taken from game: http://en.lichess.org/j2wkxj6f#78

Identifies the Qa7+ line as the only solution, which is also Mate-In-5
40.Qa7+ Ba6 41.Ra3+ Na4 (42.Rxa4+ and 42.Qc7+ both work here). 42.Rxa4+ bxa4 43.Qc7+ Bb6 44.Qxb6# and 42.Qc7+ Bb6 43.Qc3+ b4 44.Qxb4#

Thanks!

I approve of this post, just got the exact same puzzle and also saw the line Qc7 instead of Qa7 and did not receive the points for Mate-In-5

Would be nice if it was fixed, thanks
