I spent so much time trying to figure out the solution, only to check the game to discover that white's actual play was to tank for 30 seconds and then resign.

I straight gave up after staring for 2 mins

That doesn't mean that he should have resigned...

Maybe, but I'm going to assume the GM is better than I am lol. I didn't find a winning line for white after staring at it a lot longer than he did; just amusing that someone posted a puzzle with no solution.
