On the other hand he will confirm that, knowing me, it might just be 5.NxR#. BTW I posted this problem on http://slashdot.org (my favourite site) last night at 3.00 a.m. Twelve hours later I have over 100 emails from SlashDot visitors. Suddenly I realise what I should really be doing. There is a huge amount of interest for chess out there, in the real world. No correct solutions so far from SlashDot, just clever ones, like "Knight takes Rook, mate!" (i.e. buddy). One correct email solution from here (Alex, don't post it!). And a number of correct solutions from east German GMs after the puzzle appeared in ChessBase Magazine 73. Apparently it was known there.
