1.Rd8 isn't check (but the right first move)
1.Rh5? Kd3 doesn't give white a checkmate in 1 move

I think you forgot to number your move. No that was not it. Maybe an illegal move. Forgot to put the fen for the position, since this is not the beginning of a game.

[FEN "7R/1B1N4/8/3r4/1K2k3/8/5Q2/8 w - - 0 1"]
1. Rd8 Kd3 2. Nc5+ {Now solve the next one}

This is not a Exuma puzzle after all. This gives me encouragement that the next one has a solution too. But 1. Rh5 does not work.
I don't quite follow.Of course the puzzles have a solution.That's the whole point of a puzzle,to solve it.

What is an exuma puzzle?
It is a puzzle composed by Exuma. Here is an example:
White to Mate in 6 moves. Clue -- you must sac the rook.
Only greenpawn34 was able to solve it with the help of some funny arithmetic.
But actually it is not clear if it can be solved, because Exuma has never returned to give the solution.

2 movers
