I doubt this is a complete list of Loyd's chess puzzles, but theres quite a few. I've only had a chance to look at 3 or 4 so far and they've all been pretty interesting.
I have that one in a book and it says Black pawn is on a6.
1. Qa5! wins no matter what Black plays.
I guess if pawn is on a5 and White plays Qb5, Black can play Ba6 and there is no mate in next move. But I did not really check that yet, just had a quick look.

Perhaps because you are not brilliant enough to construct the right search? Would you have more success with the list of brilliant English (or Belgians for that matter)?
Try this (as an example): http://www.mindspring.com/~erasmus/Totem/elizabeth_b.htm
"Elizabeth is the mother of Robert B, Michael B, Elizabeth B, and Tim B. I cannot even begin to count the number of times we've stood in her kitchen chatting about the daily trivialities. In the list of brilliant people, she is among the top. .......".
