If you put the puzzle into Houdini,  it won't find the solution. 

I am not stunned to find that out.

Why?

I believe that foreseeing the two Knight promotions is beyond the comprehension of computer programmers.

OK, so why can't Houdini find the first (winning) move of Nf6+ ?

How the hell would I know I never saw what Houdini had as the first move, ask the Houdini programmers. All I said was that "I wasn't stunned" and I told you what I thought about programmers.

That's not true, houdini will find it if you give it enough time, I have seen this end game puzzle before. It will take anywhers between 2 to 10 minutes for Houdini to recognize that Nf6+ is winning.

Why promote the pawns to knights  and what kind of puzzle was it....???

If he didn't promote them to kngihts at the time he did, then he wouldn't have blocked the bishop from mating his king the next move.
