It's probably rated a few hundred at least more than it should be.

A lot less now, thanks for the help!

Okay. Martin, serious question: who gave it the initial 2200+ rating? Some drunk employee? Or a random number generator?

Also, 250 is ridiculously low, that again can't be right.

Puzzles get an initial rating then go up and down based on members solving them. So apparently it got missed by a lot of higher rated players to get that high of a rating.
Hanging pieces are generally going to be low rated. If the solve percentage goes way down then we'll know if that's too low rated or not.
