4. hxg6+ Nh6
5. Rxh6+ gxh6
6. Bf6#
1 minute and 10 seconds
About a half-minute total. The set up almost gave the first move away, and white has to keep applying checks- wasn’t even really calculating anything.
Also working:
1. Qd5+ Ne6 1. … Kh8 is mate in 5
2. Qxe6+ Kh8
3. Ng6+ hxg6
4. hxg6+ Nh6
5. Rxh6+ gxh6
6. Bf6#
