Chess Solving Competition

Solve To Win
Last February, TheChessWorld team held a tactics solving contest for a chance to get access to its unique "21 Days to Supercharge Your Chess" training course.

To enter the contest, you need to solve all 5 tactics problems and comment your solutions. The best solution (correct notation, all lines analyzed, etc.) will win the competition.

Here's my favorite puzzle from the memorable event for your solving: 
(Hint: A good chess imagination, visualization and calculation skills will be helpful.)

White to move and mate in 3
(The key move is 1.Ra2!!)
1.Ra2 Qa7 (1...Qb7 2.Rh2#) 2.Rh2#
   1.Ra2 Qa8 (1...Qh2 2.Rh2#) 2.Rxa8# 
1.Ra2 Qd8 2.Rh2# 
1.Ra2 Qc7 2.Ra8+ (any Q-move) 3.RxQ#
1.Ra2 Qd6 2.Ra8+ Qd8 3.Rxd8#
1.Ra2 Qe5 2.Ra8+ Qb8 3.Rxb8#
1.Ra2 Qf4 2.Ra8+ Qf8 3.Rxf8#
1.Ra2 Qg3 2.Ra8+ Qg8 3.Rxg8# 
1.Ra2 Qc8 2.Rh2+ Qh3 3.Rxh3#
1.Ra2 Qe8 2.Rh2+ Qh5 3.Rxh5#
1.Ra2 Qf8 2.Rh2+ Qh6 3.Rxh6#
