Incorrect Puzzle 26907 http://lichess.org/training/26907

I was going over this position with my chess mentor (Elo 1800+) and he refuted the given answer to the puzzle. After White plays Qg4, any strong player would see the coming threat to his Queen and not greedily snap up the rook he can basically grab at any time. The simple pawn to h5 defeats White's trick.

Also, if I have a custom made puzzle I would like to submit, is there a place for me to submit it?
You're missing the point of the tactic, after Qg4 white also threatens black's bishop. After ..h5 white can simply take on g2. And as far as I've heard the database has more than enough generated puzzles so I don't think they take submissions, but I may be wrong.
thanks @raph for the post, but to everyone, please check with a strong engine (like Stockfish) before accusing a puzzle to be wrong....@heiser +1
Heiser the puzzle solution is still wrong. Best play by Black would be to protect his queen at the cost of the bishop. Not sac the queen for Rook

What about 1. QG4 Knc6? 2. Q x G2 . Qxd4
