strange end to puzzle 45511

H_Badorties, you're correct, after 4... Rc3 it's just a hopeless endgame. That's ok, not all puzzles end with checkmate.

The real problem with this puzzle is that I tried 1. Kg6 Ke7 2. Nc8+, which transposes to the official solution after 2... Kxe6 (or leads to checkmate). But lichess only accepts 2. Rd1.

Many lichess puzzles are flawed. We can only downvote them. And it's ok because it's a free service.
