Default One more puzzle for the ages

Ah yes, once more a puzzle comes forth to challenge the chess player's intellect. This comes from the same site as the previous puzzle that I posted, and is still almost as difficult.

That would be correct
I'm sure that it was nothing more than a simple typo, considering the other moves would not have been correct had he meant Bxf8.

Is it really too much to ask for someone to put some puzzles up?
