Okay, since nobody else seems to have any ideas, I'll just keep putting mine up.
Mate in Two
At first it seems that white is going to have to hang onto his queen in order to mate black's king in it's awful position, but it is easier to sacrifice the queen and use the knight's good circuit to his advantage.
1. Qg8+!!
Here, 1. Qf2 is the only other option, and it most likely leads only to a draw, if that. 1. Nf7+ Kg8 2. Nh6+ Kf8 allows black's king to escape and takes much longer.
1. ... Nxg8
Black's only option.
2. Nf7#!
