How exactly does the king get to g8?

The king gets to g8 through the rarely used King/Knight exchange, first seen in the Scandinavian Championships of 1895.

Either that's sarcasm you're typing, or you missed the fact that black's pawns are all still in their starting rank.

I was going to suggest it was a game of Fischer Random Chess, but apparently people are taking things too seriously today. And it would still be impossible, since Black doesn't have a last move.

Black's last move was 0-0-0-0, a rarely used special kind of castling where the rook, bishop and king all do some weird swapsy. This move can only legally be allowed if both players are under the influence of psychadelics. True fact that, kids.

Think this is any harder?

Mate in three, but exactly the same idea.

I believe all puzzles should teach a useful theme, through a position one might come across in an actual game. This puzzle failed on both accounts.
