Henrik Juel: Joke problem

1... Lc7 2.Sd7# (2022-09-12)
Mario Richter: Does Henrik's answer show that the problem is cooked? (2022-09-12)
Henrik Juel: Yes, Mario (2022-09-12)
A.Buchanan: Could it be that bRb6 is meant to be on a6? (2022-09-13)
A.Buchanan: The point being that with bRa6, 1. d8=sL? La5! (not Lc7/Lb6 2. Sd7#/Te6#) So bishop promotion becomes a thematic try. (2022-09-13)
Mario Richter: I have access to the original issue of 'Shakhmatna Misl', so I can confirm that the black rooks are on a7 and b6. I checked some of the following issues to see, if there was a mentioning a of the cook and/or a correction, but without success.
Changing the cook 1. d8=sL! into a try would be nice, but I think the purpose of black Tb6 is to prevent the defense 1. ... Db3!, so unless I'm missing something, Andrew's suggestion doesn't work. (2022-09-13)
A.Buchanan: Thanks Mario - I didn't check enough. If further one swaps bQb8 with bRa7, and pushes wK to h2 further out of harms way, then I think the =S solution & =L try are sound: 1r6/q2Pp1P1/r4k1N/2N3R1/5p1P/8/4R2K/8 (2022-09-13)
James Malcom: Nice find, Mario; sweet fix, Andrew. (2022-09-14)
A.Buchanan: Thanks James. r7/q2Pp1P1/r4k1N/2N3R1/7P/8/8/4RK2 further saves a pawn and has better positions for the remote units. I suggest attribution is MM correction HJ,MR,AB. (2022-09-15)
A.Buchanan: Alternatively r7/q2Pp1P1/r4k1N/2N3R1/5p1K/8/8/4R3 economizes a wP rather than a bP. I don't know which version my esteemed co-creators would prefer to record this momentous achievement for posterity. I don't see a way to reach Meredith (2022-09-17)

Henrik Juel: A joke problem, I see... (2022-09-12)
Mario Richter: Sorry, Henrik, I thought you've learned from the past that I sometimes can't resist to present a little trap. I was sure you would detect that popeye finds no solution to this seemingy simple position, but I expected that you - knowing me - would conclude that there must be something more about it (even more, since I presented it at Weekend). So I hope you can forgive me my little joke ... :-) (2022-09-12)
Henrik Juel: No problem, Mario

'Schach-Echo' empfiehlt, zum Lösen Hochprozentiges einzusetzen: "... eine lustige Aufgabe, die aber nur am Silvester-Abend richtig gelöst werden kann. Wir geben allen, die sich mit dem Stück befassen wollen, den gut gemeinten Rat, erst in gehobener Stimmung zu versuchen, das Rätsel zu lösen. Mit König Alkohol im Bunde dürfte es am besten gelingen."
SCHRECKE: 1. h8=K! f6 2. Kg7 Kg4 3. Kxh6# - Hinweis: Alkohol schadet der Gesundheit!
Wünsche allen ein gesundes neues Jahr!! (2023-01-02)
Henrik Juel: This problem should be labelled joke, I think (2023-01-02)
