Post Tiny mistake in Puzzle.o.t.day #1577
#### Spoiler alert ####

Err, I hope this is the right section to post this in...
Anyway, I was just enjoying the Puzzle of the day, this one http://www.chessvideos.tv/puzzle-1577-FindtheMate.php when I found what I think to be a tiny mistake.
The 1st hint the problem gives says "The black king will be mated on its starting square." But as fas as I can tell that is not the case.

As always the problem might just be located aprox. 1 1/2 feet away from my monitor though :?

While the black king starts on f8 in the puzzle, that is not the starting square for the black king.
