1. Rh8+ KXh8
2. Nf6+ Kg8
3. Nxd8 1-0
Well, it is quite simple but I took way longer than 5 seconds because I was looking for checkmates that were not there.
1.Rh8+ Kxh8
2.Nxf7+ Kg8/Kh7
3.Nxd6
1. Rh8+ Kxh8 2. Nxf7+ 1-0
Vh3-h8+; Kg8xh8.
Je5xf7+; Kg8.
Jf7xd6
Rh8+ looks good enough after Kxh8 then Nf7+ wins the queen
Rh8+ Kxh8 Nxf6+ kh2 NxQ
Rh8+! wins the queen.
Took maybe 10 seconds as I was searching for checkmates 🙂
