Sorry don't know chess notation, but pulling the rook back a few squares, letting the queen be taken and then moving the rook over onto the king's file looks like mate to me.

edit: or is white coming down the board?
edit2: if white is going down the rook up one square- black has to move his rook then queen takes pawn- mate

nice puzzle, stumped on the other one- haven't really done puzzles before, except in games!

smells to me like R-c5 is pretty nasty. But just Qxd7+ wins as well,
RXQ, RXR, KXR, Wh K-b7, how does black stop the pawn from Queening?
Oops, didn't see that was an incorrect position.
