Default TOUGH problem

Try Tactics # 102 on ICC. It took me about 50 take-backs.

It wasn't even fun. Anyone who can visualize this mate is a
genious of the highest order. (it isn't one of those pansy 5
move mates either). I assume these puzzels on ICC are
checked over for the fastest mate, but I have my suspicions
on this one.

I think most chess-playing programs can now solve, perfectly, for mates in N
(including cooks, i.e. duplicate solutions) for any N up to at least five,
probably seven or eight.

How about posting a forsyth version for an assessment? Looks
like this is not easily available to non-members.
