Looks like it would be closer to puzzle if I took the Bish out.

Thanks.

A human might type in any of those seven options, but the puzzle only accepts one as correct. So it's best if there's only one winning sequence. :)

For example, on move 3:

8/8/B5K1/8/5k2/6p1/6P1/4Q3 w - - 0 1

Analysis by Rybka 2.3.2 mp 32-bit :

1. +-  (#2): 3.Bd3 Kg4 4.Qb4#
2. +-  (#2): 3.Bc4 Kg4 4.Qe4#
3. +-  (#2): 3.Bb7 Kg4 4.Qb4#
4. +-  (#2): 3.Bb5 Kg4 4.Qb4#
5. +-  (#2): 3.Qe8 Kg4 4.Qa4#
6. +-  (#2): 3.Bf1 Kg4 4.Qb4#

It was my first shot at a puzzle. 

What would be an equally quick path to victory?

Good one, but it doesn't work as a puzzle because White has more than one way to win just as quickly on every move.

For whatever reason, my comments don't show up until you solve the puzzle and replay the moves.  If you solve it, you don't need the explanation.  Oh well.  (Unless you just index through every option).
