Maybe, I have slightly misunderstood John Merlino's post, who wrote:

This sounded to me, like he had done f6 on the board already, and then a mate in
12 was found (if I count correctly, this is also consistent with the mate in 17,
he mentions - although he probably has not tried all the black alternatives
earlier in the line). Seems he had not done f6 already (otherwise, it would be
difficult to explain the "almost an hour", compared to your almost one minute
...)
