Answers.Text: Yes, what you are missing is that the original diagram would be read with white pushing the other way. I will add another diagram.

Answers.Text: Since most diagrams are read with white at the bottom, that is why I figured it was the first position. It is relatively rare for the diagrams to be shown from the black side.

  Yes, it is really an easy win.
  
  The first move is 1...Qe4; 2.Kg4 Kc7, and note that white cannot make any progress without losing one of the pawns, leaving an easy win since your Q can get to g8 after winning the first pawn.
  
  ```
  [FEN "qk6/8/8/6P1/5P2/6K1/8/8 b - - 0 1"]
  
  1... Qe4 2. Kg4 Kc7
  
  ```
  
  This is with it going the other way. It is harder, no question, but the first thing is to get the queen in front of the pawns.
